The Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force made 14 drug and illegal alien arrests ending an eight month long investigation. It involves dozens of different law enforcement agencies including Homeland Security and the SWAT Team.

Felix Onofre-Rojas, Publico Barcenas, Jose Gallegos-Gonzalez and Raquel Torrez face charges ranging from criminal possession of a controlled substance to criminal sale of a controlled substance.

The arrests come after search warrants were executed at homes in Rochester, Hamlin and Gaines, Orleans County. Authorities found more than two ounces of cocaine, a rifle, cash and other drug paraphernalia.

The four were sent to the Orleans County Jail on $50,000 cash bail.

Six others were also arrested and charged by Immigration and Customs.

The illegal immigrants were processed by federal authorities and are being held at the Federal Detention Facility in Batavia.
