Huge Drug Bust in Lunenburg County

After a six month long investigation by the Tri-county Narcotics Task Force, the results are in. With 13 arrested (all with cocaine charges, some with other drugs as well) police are satisfied they’ve nabbed the whole network.

There is one man still on the loose from Manassas.

Although the arrests were in Lunenburg County, the Tri-county Narcotics Task Force primarily serves the “neck area.” It is composed of The TRI County Narcotics Task Force composed of 8 police officers from the Virginia State Police, Westmoreland County, King George County, Caroline County, the Town of Colonial Beach, and the Naval Investigative Service ( NCIS ) has been in operation since October, 2007.

Few details were released about just how the ring operated or what was seized by the police. Typically, guns, cars and associated paraphernalia are taken.

The mass arrests do highlight just how pervasive cocaine is in our community. It also shows how effective a half-year investigation can be in gathering up everyone concerned. Although the policy is controversial, police commonly do not arrest someone as soon as they know they are selling narcotics. The downside is that more sales can be made before the operation is shut down. The upside comes with these types of large sweeps – one person leading to another and then another. Furthermore, going slower means the police can gather much more evidence. Typically, these cases don’t even go to trial. The evidence is too strong for defendants to risk a jury and they generally plead out.
