PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -
A six-month investigation into meth dealing at a building in Portland's Old Town district led to seven people being arrested and others being detained early Thursday morning.
Portland police SERT, along with Washington County TNT officers, executed a search warrant at the Hip Sing Association Building on Northwest Third Avenue.

The warrant was part of a federal drug investigation.
Police arrested the following people on either parole violation warrants or on drug charges: Tracey Ledoux, 40; Amy Macioroski, 31; Donald Stumpff, 43; Troy Guy, 42; Jennifer Mahoney, 32; Lisa Mills, 28; and Sean Evans, 25.
Officers also reportedly seized two ounces of meth, drug packaging materials, digital scales, ammunition, surveillance equipment, multiple weapons and body armor, as well as dozens of stolen bicycles and some stolen computers.
Investigators said the drug dealing was of particular concern because it was taking place in Old Town, a district with rehab facilities where many people are considered vulnerable to drug use and relapsing.
So far, it's not clear whether the drug trafficking happening at the address has ties to a larger organization. No meth was being manufactured at the building.
