ALPHARETTA — Alpharetta Police arrested a suspected drug dealer they say was targeting youth and young adults in the city.

Police served a search warrant at a home in Alpharetta Friday night where a 22-year-old man was taken into custody without incident.

Detectives seized 216 tabs of LSD, 302 MDMA pills also known as Ecstasy or “Mollys,” 735 Adderall pills, 37 grams of powder cocaine, two handguns, and other contraband.
