LAURENS COUNTY, Ga. — Nearly 20 people were arrested last week in Laurens County amid an investigation into the sale of meth across the county.
Lt. Tim Burris says that over the last few months, the sheriff’s office has been working on several investigations into drug deals, with some going back as far as March 2019.
The investigations lead to the arrest of more than a dozen people on Friday, Sept. 25, for violations of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act.
Six vehicles were also seized along with money and two firearms.
A news release notes that Sheriff Larry Dean wants to keep drug dealers of the street, so he created a Crime Suppression Unit (CSU), that has arrested around 70 people on suspected violations of the controlled substances act.
