Five men are at the Gwinnett County jail awaiting possible deportation after police raided a Duluth home and seized drugs, cash and an assault rifle.

Acting on a tip about possible illegal activity, federal immigration agents and Gwinnett police officers went Feb. 5 to the Brighton Springs apartment complex at 1470 Boggs Road. They asked a resident for permission to search the home, and he agreed, according to Cpl. Illana Spellman, spokeswoman for the Gwinnett County Police Department.

The search turned up 232 grams of cocaine, a small assault rifle and $3,456 in cash.

Seven people were arrested, including a 16-year-old juvenile, and charged with illegal firearm possession and cocaine trafficking. Six of the men were also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for having drugs and guns in the presence of a minor.

U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement placed deportation detainers on five of the six men.

The adult suspects are identified as Jorge Cabanas-Urias, 29, Carlos Diaz-Berenguer, 30, Rodolfo Diaz-Borja, 29, Ricardo Beltran-Gonzales, 31, Jose Lopez-Espinoza, 19, and Humberto Ramos-Garncia, 24.
