Prince George's County narcotics enforcement officers and officers from the Prince George's County Sheriff's Department raided the home of Berwyn Heights Mayor Cheye Calvo Tuesday evening.

A 32-pound package of marijuana was confiscated from the home, located in the 8500 block of Edmonston Road, at about 7 p.m., said Officer Henry Tippett, a Prince George's County police spokesman. Tippett could not confirm whether the package was found inside or outside the home.

Mario Ellis, spokesman for County Sheriff Michael Jackson, said his office executed the search warrant that allowed officers to enter the home.

Calvo could not be reached for comment. Councilman Michael Attick said he would not comment on the incident until he had more information. Other council members could not be reached for comment.

Tippett said no one has been arrested or charged in connection with the raid. However, he said, ‘‘it is an ongoing investigation and everyone in the house is a person of interest.
