PHILADELPHIA, PA – Attorney General Linda Kelly, Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan and Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler held a news conference at the Attorney General’s Philadelphia office, 7801 Essington Ave.
The purpose of the news conference was to announce a series of arrests in “Operation Blowout,” a joint investigation that identified 27 individuals allegedly linked to a $3.5 million methamphetamine trafficking organization that stretched from the Philadelphia and suburban counties into the Lehigh Valley, and as far north as Tioga and Lycoming counties, in north-central Pennsylvania.
Seized drugs, weapons, cash and other items, along with photos of the defendants, was on display at the news conference.
