Middle Georgia Drug Bust



Law enforcement officials from Bibb, Monroe, and Twiggs County say teamwork was key in a recent drug bust.
For the past four months investigators from the three counties worked together to follow a large cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana trafficking organization.

Eight suspects were arrested. Police seized over 600-thousand dollars worth of drugs, cash and property.

Officials say all of the suspects are familiar to local law enforcement, and that more arrests could come as a result of this investigation.

Bibb County Sheriff Jerry Modena says, "This investigation takes a large chunk of drugs out of Bibb County and puts a major hurt on some of our drug dealers."
An anonymous tip led to the investigation.
