More than 300 grams of meth, as well as drug-making equipment, cash and firearms, were seized in the raid around 2:30 p.m. Friday by Freeborn County deputies, Albert Lea police and officers of the South-Central Drug Investigative Unit, authorities said.

The meth lab was located upstairs in the London Township house, with a marijuana-growing operation set up in the basement.
