FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Eight people were arrested in Fort Wayne following a gang bust on Saturday night.

Sean Nobles was arrested and charged with dealing cocaine while armed, dealing heroin, possession of controlled substances, maintaining a common nuisance and possession of stolen property (firearm).

Riakos Barker was arrested and charged with resisting law enforcement and possession of cocaine.

Six other male minors were also arrested. They were arrested on a variety of charges including dangerous possession of a handgun, visiting a common nuisance, resisting law enforcement in a vehicle, resisting law enforcement fleeing on foot, possession of marijuana and active warrants.

At about 11:17 p.m. Saturday, Gang and Violent Crime Unit detectives were conducting surveillance in the 6000 block of Guild Drive. Detectives received a tip that the residence was an active gang house for the “150” Gang, according to the Fort Wayne Police Department.

While officers were observing the house, they saw a lot of people coming and going. They also saw one male minor known to have an active warrant leave in a car.

Detectives then tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the car sped away. For about three minutes, Fort Wayne Police Department officers chased the vehicle.

While the suspects were driving away, they threw a gun out of the window. Then they drove back to the gang house.

Police arrested the three people that were inside the car and five more that were inside the house.

Officers obtained a search warrant for the house. During the search, police found two 5.56 caliber assault rifles, one pistol, 35 grams of cocaine, 10 grams of heroin, 24 grams of marijuana, 40 ecstasy pills, codeine, a large amount of ammunition, narcotics paraphernalia and $3,800 in cash.
