The coordinated enforcement actions resulted from ongoing investigations into two drug trafficking organizations operating in north Mississippi and an investigation into the importation and distribution of Glock-type conversion devices, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The operation happened in late September and is a spin-off from another investigation that happened from November to February.

The investigation is not over and now expands across northern Mississippi.
