The late-night operation was led by East Khasi Hills Additional Superintendent of Police Saurav Saini and Deputy Superintendent of Police Joyti Wahlang.
Crackdowns were carried out in the Polo, Jeep Stand and Urkaliar areas.
Meanwhile, the confiscated items were handed over to the Excise department for formal seizure and further legal proceedings.
