OCEAN CITY — The Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) Narcotics Unit, in conjunction with the allied law enforcement agencies, last week wrapped up a major drug distribution investigation throughout the resort area with 21 arrests or indictments and thousands of dollars in heroin and cocaine taken off the streets.
The OCPD Narcotics Unit, along with the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team, the OCPD Special Enforcement Unit and the OCPD Quick Response Team, or SWAT, last week began making arrests and serving search and seizure warrants following a three-month investigation into the distribution of heroin, cocaine and other drugs in the resort area. Under the guise of Operation Harbor Breeze, the allied agencies utilized undercover detectives to target street level drug distribution in Ocean City, particularly in the downtown area.
Operation Harbor Breeze was launched in part to curb thefts, burglaries and vehicle break-ins associated with street level drug distribution in the resort. From September through early December, undercover narcotics detectives were able to make 66 purchases of illegal drugs flowing into the resort.

Great job to our special LEOs in OC, Worcester and OC SWAT! Unlike social media, law enforcement/getting the bad guys takes time...time well spent at the end with major arrests and very bad drugs taken off the streets.
ReplyDeleteSome will say those arrested will be replaced by other low lifers...yeah that could be the case, but its good to know our LEOs continue to do the job that most of us won't.
Its always "street level", never Pablo Escobar level. Stop wasting my tax dollars and go after the real threat. I domt see no poppy fields or coca farms in OC

ReplyDeleteI guess 318 thinks the gun manufacturers should be arrested instead of all the thugs shooting each other. I bet he would enjoy the south side of Chicago
