27 arrested in Sullivan County drug bust
The #FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force, state police and several local police departments arrested 27 people this week in connection with a #DrugTrafficking ring operating in #SullivanCounty, police said Thursday.
Drugs, weapons, vehicles and cash were seized during the raid. State police would not release any additional information Thursday, including the charges levied against the 27 defendants.
The arrests come nearly nine months after almost 40 people were arrested for alleged involvement in four major drug rings in Sullivan County. The US Attorney’s Office previously said that was just the beginning of its dismantling of the drug industry in the county.
State police said additional information on the arrests will be released during a press conference at 10:30 a.m. Friday in the Sullivan County District Attorney’s Office.
