Two people are in jail after state police said they were manufacturing methamphetamine inside an Indiana County home.

Christopher L. Falcone, 43, of Vintondale, Cambria County, and Santana R. Crusan, 31, of Robinson were arrested Friday and are awaiting arraignment at the Indiana County Jail.

State police executed a search at the East Wheatfield home along Rager Road shortly before noon after receiving information about suspected meth manufacturing.

Officers were permitted to search the home, where they found items consistent with the clandestine manufacturing of meth, officials said.

A state police mobile lab processed the scene and inventoried meth-related items.

Officers said they believe three juveniles were present at the home where the manufacturing was occurring. Their ages were not provided.

Falcone and Crusan are facing charges including operating a methamphetamine lab and illegal dumping of meth waste, the manufacture of meth with a person under 18 present, manufacturing a controlled substance, recklessly endangering another person, possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia, possession of pseudoephedrine for methamphetamine manufacture, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Information on when Falcone and Crusan would be arraigned was not immediately available.
