Five people were arrested Thursday in a drug raid at a home in Vancouver’s Burnt Bridge Creek neighborhood, according to the Vancouver Police Department.

The raid at 4713 N.E. 139th Ave. was conducted by the Clark-Vancouver Regional Drug Task Force, along with members from the Vancouver Police East and West Neighborhood Response Teams, and the Department of Corrections, a VPD bulletin said.

It followed a two-month investigation into Joshua P. Burson, 40, and roommates, including reports that he and the others had been selling drugs from the house, according to the bulletin.

The raid turned up approximately 1 pound of crystal methamphetamine, 3 ounces of heroin, a 9mm handgun with the serial number ground off, cash, and drug paraphernalia, the bulletin said.

All five were booked into the Clark County Jail, the bulletin said.
