Police charged 25 strip-club workers with drug and other charges after a series of raids Friday night, authorities said.
Law-enforcement officers served search warrants at three Winston-Salem clubs - Club Risque, 5910 University Parkway; Paper Moon Gentlemen's Club, 1007 Salisbury Ridge Road and Filly's Gentlemen's Club, 400 Peters Creek Parkway.
Officers seized heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, opium, prescription drugs and marijuana.
The club workers face a combined 122 charges, the N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement Branch, one of the agencies involved in the raid, said early Saturday morning.
The charges range from trafficking in opium and oxycodone to possession of marijuana.
Each of the clubs will also lose its permits to serve alcohol for at least 30 days. The state ABC board will also consider further action against the clubs.
“This coordinated effort should serve notice to ABC licensed establishments that illegal drugs sales will not be tolerated," said ALE Special Agent Mike Yates.
In addition to ALE, the Winston-Salem and Kernersville Police departments, and the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office participated in the raids.
The investigation is continuing and more charges are expected, ALE said.
