More than 50 arrested in Macon-Bibb County 'Operation United Front'

Sheriff David Davis says the operation also recovered around 54 guns

MACON, Ga. — More than 50 people have been arrested as a result of a recent multi-agency operation in Bibb County. Sheriff David Davis made the announcement during a press conference Thursday.

A news release says members of the 40-day operation worked on traffic enforcement, serving warrants, and went undercover.

Davis said over 50 illegal guns were also recovered or taken off the street, which will now be tested to find out if they’ve been used in recent crimes across the county.

The release says data from 'shots fired' calls helped them determine hot spots around Bibb County that needed to be targeted.

It was a collaborative effort between the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, ATF, Department of Community Supervision, the Bibb County District Attorney’s Office, and the Middle Georgia District of the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
