St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said 40 people have been arrested and several more targeted as part of a massive undercover drug operation focused mostly on crack cocaine.
Operation Crack Down resulted in 40 arrests and search warrants issued for 13 more people. Investigators have noted an increase in street-level narcotic sales, mostly crack cocaine, since the end of last year.
“Since the pill epidemic has slowed down somewhat with new legislation, crack cocaine is coming back,” said Sheriff Mascara.
