TOLEDO, OHIO -- Police say they have charged seven adults after a raid at a North Toledo strip club. 

Authorities executed a search warrant at Platinum Show Girls, 5801 Telegraph, around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.  Inside the establishment, seven adults were charged with various misdemeanor and felony offenses. Fourteen liquor violations were also noted.

According to detectives, authorities had received several complaints, from former Platinum employees, of prostitution and drug activity inside the club.

During Wednesday night's raid, police seized prescription pills, marijuana, U.S. currency, three handguns, six long guns, computers and DVR recorders. 

An investigation continues and authorities say additional charges against those already charged are pending.

The warrant was executed by the Toledo Police Vice Unit, with assistance from Toledo Police Directed Policing Unit, Toledo Police Computer Crimes Unit, Ohio Department of Public Safety, and the Northwest Ohio Violent Crimes Against Children Task Force.
