Seventeen people were arrested Tuesday night as LaGrange County authorities executed a sweep on suspected meth labs and dealers.

The Sheriff’s Office, assisted by Indiana State Police and more than 10 other law enforcement agencies, found two active meth labs while making the arrests primarily in the LaGrange community.

In addition to meth-related dealing and production, the 17 men and women arrested face a range of charges including possession and dealing of marijuana.

The warrants were the result of a yearlong investigation, LaGrange authorities said in a news release.

Many of the arrests stemmed from citizen complaints, police said. The public is encouraged to continue notifying police of suspicious activity.
