34 Arrested in Dublin Drug Busts | Crime

Dublin police say they've arrested 34 people after a three-month drug investigation.

Lt. Ronnie Holmes said, "The Dublin Police, Area Crime Enforcement Team and the Gang Suppression Unit all worked together on a detailed operation between Oct. 17, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2013, to arrest (these) individuals."

According to Holmes, the arrests happened between Jan. 31 and Feb.

He said, "Most of the arrests deal  with drug sales and some are charged with criminal gang activity, following three months of investigations. Many of the individuals were connected with selling either cocaine or marijuana or both."

All of those arrested are Dublin residents and Holmes said nine more arrests are expected Wednesday. Once those individuals are arrested, charges will total 141.         

Cpl. Eric Roland called the arrests "the largest ever inside the Dublin city limits."
