Massive Drug Bust In Georgia Leads To 65 People Being Detained

A massive drug bust in South Fulton led to more than 60 people being detained in what cops described as a “drug market.”

According to Fox 5 Atlanta, authorities said a warehouse between 12,000 to 15,000 square feet large was set up as a “drug store,” where vendors would have tables set out to sell a wide variety of illegal drugs.

Authorities are now working to determine who the customers were at this drug marketplace and who the organizers were in the operation.

Police seized several weapons and cash and are still working to determine how long this operation has been in business.

“It really is a bold step to take this sort of a warehouse and then turn it into a drug operation. Certainly unusual from our standpoint. As you can see from the number of individuals we have detained behind us, it was well patronized,” South Fulton Police Chief Keith Meadow told the news outlet.
