Latta Police Launch New Initiative Against Narcotics

Operation Drug Takedown aims to crack down on illegal drug distribution within town limits.

The Latta Police Department launched a new initiative dubbed Operation Drug Takedown.

The plan has been in the works for sometime now and aims to crack down on illegal drug distribution within town limits.

The move comes after a reported uptick in community concerns over illegal drugs, which often involves violence and crime that impacts neighborhoods.

As part of the operation, multiple investigations are underway and officials expect many arrests to come.

As part of the plan, Latta police will keep low-intensity blue lights on patrol cars to boost visibility and deter crime.

Residents are urged to contact authorities with any information related to drug activity.
