Springs Police: Drug Ring Used Chicken Restaurant

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) ― Colorado Springs police say they broke up a drug ring that was being run out of a chicken restaurant.

Officers say they arrested two men on June 15 and seized $33,000 worth of powder crack cocaine and $21,000 in cash.

Investigators say two men supplied the drugs to a third man, who sold them to people who pretended to be customers of the chicken restaurant.

The two alleged drug suppliers were arrested. There's no immediate word on whether the third man faces charges.

Police say an informant gave them cell phone numbers of drug suppliers and other information that led to the arrests after a three-month investigation.

The FBI participated in the investigation with Colorado Springs police.
