U.S. Attorney William Barr and Drug Enforcement Administration Acting Administrator Timothy Shea announced Thursday, at a press conference in Phoenix, a large meth bust across the U.S., seizing thousands of pounds of methamphetamine, tens of millions of dollars, and hundreds of firearms.

The operation was a six-month-long effort to bring down a 'meth superhighway' that was controlled by Mexican cartels and stretched across the U.S.

The operation included 750 investigations across 'meth hubs' in Atlanta, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Phoenix, San Diego, and St. Louis, resulting in 1,840 arrests, the seizure of 28,560 pounds of methamphetamine, 284 firearms and $43.3 million in drug profits.

DEA showcased the dugs and weapons seized in the busts.

Special Agent in Charge William J. Callahan, head of the St. Louis Division, said:

"Our efforts in this operation focused on the transshipment of methamphetamine through the highways that cross through the Midwest," Callahan said.

Adding that, "being in the heart of the country means that drug traffickers are using the highway system to move their drugs from the Southwest border, not only to the cities located in our region but also to those on the East Coast. Drug traffickers transport their illegally-gained cash back to Mexico, and the seizure of those funds severely impacts the command and control of the drug organization."

Callahan said meth trafficking was also conducted through "the U.S. Postal Service and other commercial parcel shipping businesses."

Alrighty, I'm beginning to understand some of the USPS problems.  Wink

Alright, I know what that drug does to people and it's not pretty, it destroys all that they are and sometimes what they could be.
