Details Sketchy on Friday Drug Bust
Some eyewitnesses say they saw people going in and out of the house all the time. Others say their neighborhood is quiet. Either way, police raided a Galesburg home Friday that's resulted in at least one arrest.

Galesburg Police say they will eventually release details of the suspected drug bust at a home in the 1400 block of Florence Avenue.

Local and state police were seen by WGIL at the home after 10:30am Friday. At least one white unmarked van and police dressed in tactical gear were on the scene according to eyewitnesses.

One told us that children play at the home regularly, and that one of the kids was scared to death.

The same neighbor told us that all residents are pretty familiar with each other, and keep watch on each other's homes, but that there has been more activity in the home in question recently.

It's not clear when more details will be released.
