Three men are in jail after Hillsborough County deputies searched a Progress Village area home and found cocaine, marijuana and $75,000 worth of stolen property, sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

Detectives have been investigating a home at 4929 83rd St. S. for about two weeks. The occupants were suspected of selling narcotics and buying and selling stolen property, Carter said.

On Thursday, deputies searched the home, finding multiple televisions, power tools, lawn mowers, lawn equipment, car stereo equipment, generators, computers, laptop computers, cameras, jewelry and a stolen trailer.

Deputies also found more than 35.9 grams of crack cocaine, 5.3 grams of powder cocaine, 5.4 grams of marijuana and other drug paraphernalia, Carter said.

A resident, Martis A, Bunton Sr., was arrested on several drug and theft related charges. Deputies also charged Martis Bunton Jr., 26, with possession of marijuana and Phillip Dunbar, 45, of 7811 River Resort Lane, with dealing in stolen property.
