Local law enforcement says a major drug trafficking organization has been dismantled, with eight suspects already in custody, and a ninth still being sought.
"The arrests are the result of the most intensive undercover operation by the County’s Narcotics Task Force in years," the Delaware County District Attorney's Office said.Hundreds of grams of cocaine and marijuana, $63,073 in cash, six vehicles, three firearms and ammo were all seized as part of Operation "Rat Pack."The investigation began in February 2024, when 46-year-old Baruti Mills was identified as the head of the drug ring.
Search warrants were eventually executed at 16 locations in Delaware County and the state of Delaware on August 13."Using techniques such as wiretaps and undercover purchases, we have targeted the corrupt organizations that bring this poison into our communities, not just the individuals who sell it on our street corners," said District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.
