DEA conducts investigation at multiple locations in Orange County

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is conducting an investigation at multiple locations in Orange County on Wednesday morning.

A spokesperson for the DEA Los Angeles Field Division did not provide details on the locations or the reason for the investigation, since it is ongoing, but said that all of the operations were connected.

Aerial footage showed several agents at a residence in the 30 block of Brisbane Court in Tustin, where agents allegedly discovered a drug lab. They were seen removing several large pieces of machinery from the home's garage as part of what they said was a much larger investigation.

Agents also removed several bags labeled "Firmapress," which is apparently an "all-in-one pill mix."

The DEA also confirmed agents investigated a location in Irvine, but did not provide further details. Aerial footage showed agents walking in and out of a home on Steeplechase, where a federal search warrant was served for an ongoing drug investigation.

The two properties are separated by approximately 8 miles. 

Authorities did not note if any arrests were made, but neighbors said that one person was seen being taken away in handcuffs.
