Three people were arrested after a search warrant investigation led deputies to recover illegal drugs from a Seffner home and a nearby hotel room, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO).

Detectives served a search warrant around noon on Thursday at a home in Seffner following an investigation into suspected firearms and narcotics activity, according to a social media post.

During the search, detectives recovered narcotics and drug paraphernalia, resulting in the arrests of Timothy Shamblin, 60, and Kristen Caroway, 37, officials said.
