Sergeant Sykes said five different law enforcement agencies helped get everything off of the streets back on May 17.

“It may put some sort of a dent in the drug activity in Henry County but it does let the criminals know that we’re watching and we’re being very vigilant,” he said.

They seized $210,000 in cash, cocaine, Ecstasy pills, marijuana, and guns, including an assault rifle.
