Five residents were taken into custody as a result of Thursday's raids and authorities seized 6 guns, including an assault rifle.

One resident on 22nd street in Oceano, Lisha Dempsey said she woke up to, "booms" when officers raided the property next door.

Another resident said she believed for years the home was "hot" meaning it was a likely place to buy drugs.
