MILWAUKEE -- Authorities from several agencies have conducted multiple drug raids throughout Milwaukee.

Federal agents and police spent hours Wednesday morning searching homes mainly in the northwest area of the city.

Neighbors say they woke to hearing doors broken in.

"They just rolled up, circled the place, put the light on the window up there. Told them, ‘FBI, get down,’” says a neighbor, who doesn't want to be named. “Before I knew it, I heard a loud bang. They went rushing in."

The raids are being connected to drugs, particularly heroin. The FBI, DEA, ATF and the Milwaukee Police are all involved. They have already made multiple arrests.
