Narcotics detectives with the High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Squad found 13,000 stamp bags of heroin, a pistol, various pills and cash during a bust at a Pittsburgh home, authorities said.

Police said that at about 11 a.m. Thursday, detectives raided the home in the Troy Hill neighborhood. Investigators said they were serving a warrant after receiving multiple complaints from neighbors who believed drugs were sold out of the home, WPXI reported.

Aaron Gale, 26, was arrested at the scene and is facing federal drug trafficking charges.
