BROCKTON—More than 100 Brockton, state and federal law enforcement personnel scoured the city’s streets and arrested 28 suspected drug dealers and distributors in Brockton, Abington, Bridgewater and Raynham in what is being called “Operation Street Sweeper II.
“(Wednesday’s) arrests mark the culmination of months of efforts to make this operation successful,” said Brockton Police Chief William Conlon in a prepared statement.
“Countless hours of surveillance and other undercover work went towards the goal of removing these defendants from Brockton’s streets,” he said.
Operation Street Sweeper II began at about 6 a.m. Wednesday, June 29 as 120 officers with the Brockton Police department, State Police Gang Unit and the FBI rounded up 28suspected drug dealers after obtaining warrants for their arrests from Brockton District Court.
Canine units and the State Police Air Wing were used in the operation.
Authorities said the undercover narcotics investigation began in April and targeted 36 individuals who allegedly sold narcotics to undercover officers.
Of the 36 people targeted, 28 were arrested and the others are still being sought by police. Two of those named in the warrants had previously been arrested.
The names of those still at large have not been released.
The 28 people caught in the sting were arraigned throughout the day Wednesday in Brockton District Court.
All face unlawful distribution of a Class A--heroin, Class D or Class B substance—crack cocaine.
In January the first Operation Street Sweeper netted 22 of 25 suspected high-level drug dealers.
Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said the drug sweep is a step in cleaning up Brockton’s streets and allowing the community to live peaceful and productive lives free of street crime.
“(Wednesday’s) arrests send a strong message that we will not surrender our streets to drug dealers and the violence they bring,” Cruz said in a prepared statement.
“I cannot emphasize enough that the officers who investigated and carried out this operation put their own lives at risk in order to make this city a safer place for families in Brockton,” he said.
