MACON CO., AL (WSFA) - At least 10 local, state and federal agencies conducted raids on three separate locations in Macon County Thursday. The raids were part of an investigation that has spanned six months. Law enforcement moved in, hitting three drug houses simultaneously.
"A lot goes into an investigation like this and trying to get these guys off the streets," explained Sheriff Andre Brunson. "You have to do certain things. It just takes time, and I just appreciate everyone working together to make this thing happen for us.”
According to Sheriff Brunson, multiple suspects were arrested on various distribution charges, including an individual wanted for attempted murder. Macon County deputies say just one raid netted between $70,000 and $80,000 dollars’ street value of crack cocaine and another $30,000 in crystal meth, or "Ice".
