Officers with the Hoke County Special Operations and Drug Unit seized $397,134 in cash, an unspecified quantity of cocaine, a money counter, five cars and five guns, including an AK-47, from a home at 350 Purvis Court in Raeford.
"The investigation continues and shows that this is a major operation that extends outside the boundaries of Hoke County and the state of North Carolina," Sheriff Hubert A. Peterkin said in a news release Monday.
Eusebio Ciriaco, 28, Jose Luis Hernande, 20, Alejandro Pano Fuentes, 37, and Javier Patricio Anecetu, 24, were each charged with possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule II controlled substance, maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance and conspiracy to sell or deliver a Schedule II controlled substance.
Each was jailed on a $1 million bond, and they are also being held on immigration detainers, authorities said.
