Bunnell, FL - The Flagler County Sheriff's Office secured the arrest warrants of 24 suspected drug dealers and seized over $109,000 in narcotics during their most recent drug sting, "Operation Unmasked."
According to FCSO, 11 of those warrants were served on Thursday (September 10th).
As a result, deputies seized a variet of controlled substances including 21 grams of fentanyl, three grams of heroin, 120 grams cocaine, 36 grams of methamphetamine, 7 pounds of cannabis and THC oil, and over 4.5 grams of other controlled substances. Four firearms were also seized, along with $19,294 in drug currency.
Deputies say approximate street value for all narcotics seized amounts to about $109,505 with potentially 12,470 lethal doses.
The 24 suspects identified in this operation have been previously arrested a combined total of 440 times, says the Sheriff's Office. Two additional drug dealers have also died of medical conditions before they could be arrested.
“Today, we ‘unmasked’ the drug dealers to ‘stop the spread’ of their poison,” Flagler Sheriff Rick Staly said. “This is a reminder to poison peddlers in Flagler County that we are watching you and so are your neighbors."
Staly added that an influx of tips from the community also helped identify the 24 subjects wanted in Operation Unmasked.
