Nine people, including three Prince George’s County police officers, were arrested Monday on charges involving drugs, guns, and black-market alcohol and cigarettes as authorities ratcheted up a sprawling corruption probe in the county.

Federal agents conducted numerous searches across the county and moved to seize more than 30 homes, businesses and vehicles as part of the widening investigation into corruption in Prince George’s.
