Police said the drug raid on the house on the 77-6500 block of Seaview Circle was prompted by numerous community complaints.

During the raid, police seized about a half-gram of methamphetamine, numerous items of meth paraphernalia, a small amount of marijuana, prescription pills and several rounds of ammunition.
