NORTON, Va. (WYMT) - Police in Wise County, Virginia wen out to serve arrested warrants for 69 people in a drug roundup Wednesday dubbed “Operation Autumn Harvest.”
Several police agencies combined to arrest people named in more than 80 indictments.
“I am proud to be a part of this effort to make our community safer. It is impressive to see the massive amount of work and investigation to arrest this number of drug offenders. I commend the hardworking officers of many different agencies who came together to make this operation a success," said Sheriff Ronnie Oakes.
The indictments stem from an investigation by the Southwest Virginia Regional Drug Task Force involving alleged illegal drug activity in Wise County and the City of Norton.
“Today’s effort illustrates our continued resolve in the fight against substance abuse and illegal drug distribution in our region. The focus of this investigation is to target the illegal use and sale of dangerous drugs, particularly synthetic narcotics and prescription drug abuse,” said Commonwealth's Attorney Chuck Slemp. “Over the course of the past several months, our law enforcement community has been working hard to eradicate drug related crime in our region. Now, their hard work comes to full fruition with these arrests. We are thankful for their significant contributions to keep drugs off our streets and the prosecutors in my office will likewise work hard to see that justice is served in each of these cases.”
Below are a list of people the police are looking to arrest.
