20 Jun Fentanyl, guns seized and over 20 indicted
Deadly fentanyl — both powder and pressed into pills — meth, cocaine and more drugs and firearms were seized as well as more than 20 people were indicted after a six-month investigation into trafficking in the small river city of Dayton, Kentucky.
The Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force, composed of narcotics officers from the region, identified the accused and released details of its investigation on Thursday morning.
They called it Operation River Sweep.
The investigation is ongoing, as some of the indicted have not yet been arrested.
Law enforcement from throughout the region focused on Dayton because it has been a center of the nationwide opioid epidemic since about 2012.
See what fentanyl is and how it’s been tainting other drugs, causing overdose and death in unprecedented numbers.
