(ABC 6 News) – Multiple search warrants executed at the Motel 6 in Rochester led to the discovery of fentanyl, methamphetamine and weapons Wednesday.

Around 4 p.m. Rochester police officers allocated significant resources to execute warrants on estimated five rooms resulting in seven arrests.

"Considering the public safety concern with the sale of dangerous drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl, in an environment like this, we moved quickly to shut down that operation and to stop those activities… selling narcotics from a location in broad daylight here is unacceptable in the terms of public safety," Capt. Aaron Penning said.

Police said officers had to break down some of the doors in order to get into the rooms while some of the people involved were not cooperative. Non-lethal defense weapons were used such as pepper spray to detain those individuals who were not cooperating.

The Emergency Response Unit (ERU), Criminal Interdiction Unit (CIU) and Patrol collaborated on the effort.

Police said there is no ongoing threat to motel guests.

"We’ve had multiple overdoses in the city of Rochester, as everyone knows, and we take that drug very seriously as a public safety concern. This is our response to that drug is getting it off the street, doing it quickly with all of our resources, if needed," Penning said.
