    Major Drug Trafficking Operation in Triad Dismantled

    GREENSBORO – Ten people are currently in jail on drug trafficking charges following a six-month investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation and several other Triad-area law enforcement agencies.

    Multiple search warrants were executed overnight Tuesday, Dec. 14 and Friday, Dec. 15, in Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem and Lexington. In addition to the arrests, authorities seized eight kilos of cocaine, 11 kilos of heroin, 50 pounds of marijuana, $171,000 in U.S. currency, six firearms, a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a 2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith, and multiple pieces of jewelry appraised at $426,000.

    “This investigation disrupted and dismantled a major drug trafficking organization,” said Scott Williams, special agent in charge of SBI’s Northern Piedmont District Office. “The operation demonstrated extraordinary cooperation among law enforcement agencies which led to an unprecedented amount of heroin seized for the areas involved.”

    The agencies involved in the operation were: The Greensboro Police Department, Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, High Point Police Department, Winston-Salem Police Department, Thomasville Police Department, Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, Guilford County District Attorney’s Office, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the State Bureau of Investigation.

    “These agencies not only contributed, but dedicated multiple officers to a variety of tasks throughout this operation that resulted in the arrests,” Williams said.  “As a result of the success of this operation, the collaborative effort between law enforcement agencies will be the blueprint as to how the SBI combats major drug trafficking organizations in the future.”
