"Law enforcement officials on Tuesday announced the arrests of five people, with felony warrants issued against two more, in a drug trafficking ring operating from Mami-Dade County to Port St. Lucie, with seizures of 2,262 grams of cocaine, fentanyl and other illegal drugs. "We're going to keep blowing up these networks right here in the state," said Attorney General James Uthmeier, comparing Tuesday's news with the Trump Administration's ongoing military strikes against suspected drug runners in international waters off South America."
""Operation Slow N Go" was a six-month investigation involving a collaboration between agencies from Martin, Okeechobee, Indian River and Palm Beach counties, including the West Palm Beach Police Department, whose Assistant Chief Al Musco identified the 45th Street Flea Market as a former hub of the ring's illegal activity. "This unprecedented collaboration amongst these agencies is what helped remove these criminals from our streets," Musco said. "This is a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together to protect our communities.""
