April 1, 2006 -- Seven trendy nightclubs were raided last night following a nine-month undercover drug probe, police said yesterday.
Clubs Speed, on West 39th Street, and Steel Gym, on East 23rd Street, were issued "restraining orders," meaning they can stay open if they stop illegal activity.
In Steel Gym, undercovers reported buying the drug crystal meth.
"We visited most of these clubs in the past," said a police source. "It's not the first time we've seen this kind of activity."
