A probation and parole sweep conducted by the San Diego Sheriff's Department and San Diego Metropolitan Transit System netted nearly three dozen arrests in the East County Thursday.
The two agencies worked together covering Santee, Lakeside and unincorporated El Cajon, ensuring suspects were in compliance with the terms of their release, the Sheriff's office said.
Deputies patrolled high-crime areas determined by information-led policing, they said.
The probation and parole compliance operation netted 32 arrests.
A search warrant served during the operation led officers to the seizure of 30 grams of methamphetamine and 19 grams of heroin.
Deputies said they also confiscated $1,500 in cash, a stolen gun and gun parts, all related to a case Santee Detectives are handling.
A stolen utility trailer was returned to its owner at the scene and 200 gold bars were also seized, valued at $14,000, the Sheriff's Department said.
