CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Authorities on Wednesday announced the results of a multi-agency operation that yielded more than 20 arrests ranging from narcotics to wire fraud and firearms crimes. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of South Carolina was joined by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies at North Charleston City Hall where they publicly discussed the arrests and how the operation came together. Officials said a portion of the investigation focused on a drug trafficking organization based primarily out of North Charleston, which was led by the FBI through an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces investigation.
