Police have raided a number of homes in Perth's southern suburbs targeting drug dealers.
More than 30 officers were involved in coordinated raids on four homes in Atwell and Meve Estate in Beeliar on Wednesday morning.

As a result of the raids, WA Police seized quantities of cannabis, methylamphetamine, steroids and smoking implements from the properties.
A 46 year-old man has been charged with a string of drug-related offences, and a 38 year-old woman has been charged with possessing smoking implements.
Inquiries into the Atwell property is currently ongoing.
WA Police spokeswoman Susan Usher said while no firearms were seized from the properties, it is understood some were found during other search warrants conducted as part of the operation since Monday.
A resident of the street raided in Meve Estate, who didn't want to be named, said he was "overjoyed" police had targeted the well-known drug homes.
"I'm glad it's over because people have been coming and going from those houses for about nine months," he told WAtoday.
"They were always working on cars and stripping cars and they were stripping copper wire out the front the other day.
"One of them took a photo of my number plate the other day and he was so drugged off his face he could barely make it back to his front door. "
Kevin who lives across the road from a house raided in Atwell said there was a lot of "strange behaviour" happening in the house.
"One of them came and knocked on my door and said 'do you believe in god'?," he told WAtoday.
"I said 'yeah bro' and then he said 'well I've arrived'. I was like what the hell, you are out driving and he had just crashed his car at the lights and my kids are just about to pick up their kids.
"There is a lot of people coming and it's good the police are getting a handle on it, but I think it's a big one.
On the same day as the raids, Police Minister Liza Harvey launched the "summer crime campaign" which would see officers "use a range of tough new laws" to target crime.
"Historically, police have had to respond to higher levels of crime over the warmer months and this year officers will add alcohol interlocks, increased graffiti penalties and powers, and boosted meth teams to its arsenal," Ms Harvey said.
