A dozen people are facing charges in a series of raids targeting a drug ring in Holyoke.
Local, state and federal authorities also seized about 80-thousand-dollars worth of heroin, 100-thousand-dollars in cash and three luxury cars.
Hampden County District Attorney Anthony Gulluni says more arrests are anticipated.
The D-A says that there is a direct link between the drug trade and the shootings in Springfield and Holyoke and by ridding the area of drugs, things may be less bloody.
