The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says two properties on East Side Road were searched Wednesday as part of a months-long investigation into drug trafficking.

Agents seized fentanyl, crack, guns and suspected drug money.

55-year-old Bret Burke and 49-year-old Michelle Wright, both of Addison, were among those taken into custody.

Two others, Juancel Ledesma Pujols of the Dominican Republic and Yiraldis De Los Santos Valenzuela of Massachusetts were apprehended by a tactical team after trying to flee from a rear window.
