Officers from 30 law enforcement agencies across Virginia, Texas and North Carolina indicted 39 people on 106 charges and seized enough fentanyl to kill 14 million people in a massive three-day operation.
Of the 39 indictments, four suspects are on the run and 35 have been arrested “for their respective roles in a conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute large amounts of heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, and cocaine base in Hampton Roads” between North Carolina and Virginia since 2016, according to a Thursday statement from the Justice Department.
Officers also seized 24 firearms including one AK-47, 30 kilograms of heroin, 5 kilograms of cocaine, 30 kilograms of fentanyl and over $700,000 in cash in the bust called “Operation Cookout.”
