(WNY News Now) – Harrisburg, PA – Authorities have arrested a Monroe County man following a raid on his Saylorsburg home that revealed a dangerous arsenal of explosives and significant quantities of illegal drugs. The search, conducted on September 12, led to the discovery of 24 improvised explosive devices (IEDs), firearms, and several pounds of methamphetamine and cocaine.

“A thorough investigation and collaboration with law enforcement resulted in the arrest of a dangerous individual, who possessed guns and explosives as part of his drug trafficking operation,” Attorney General Henry said. “The cache of firearms and explosives found at the scene put investigators and the community at great potential risk.
