Police officers from East Alton and Wood River came equipped with a battering ram and pry tools Thursday as they conducted a pre-dawn raid to execute a drug-related search warrant on a house in the 500 block of Dry Street in East Alton. The target of the warrant was not there, but police took at least five people, three women and two men, to the station for questioning. Officers were gathering evidence and photographing the inside of the house after an occupant let them in. Photo: John Badman | The Telegraph
