SEATTLE (AP) Police arrested 146 people and seized cash, cocaine and
heroin in what they touted as the largest undercover drug sweep in the
city's history.

The sting began Wednesday. By early Saturday morning, officers made 146
arrests and seized 88 grams of rock cocaine, 5 1/2 grams of black tar
heroin, more than $3,000 cash, a vehicle, a cellular phone, a pager and a
set of body armor, police spokeswoman Carmen Best said.

Most were arrested on suspicion of selling drugs, but several people were
picked up on outstanding felony warrants.

The operation included 10 law enforcement agencies, including Seattle
police, the FBI, the Secret Service and the federal Drug Enforcement
Administration.

The operation led to so many arrests in its first few days that authorities
converted the public safety building's gymnasium into a temporary
processing center.
