The 20-year-old daughter of a Cook County judge who presides over a drug court was among those arrested in a police raid in Wilmette stemming from a marijuana and ecstasy investigation, authorities said.

Wilmette police and officers from the Cook County Sheriff's North Gang Team executed a search warrant at the home of Oskar Vahtra, 18, in the 1500 block of Forest Avenue in the north suburb around 5:30 p.m. Friday.

Vahtra and four others were arrested at the home, police said. Later that night, between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. at the Edens Plaza on Lake Avenue, five more people were arrested on charges related to the selling and purchasing of marijuana.
