Crack Ring Busted Near School

A massive two-year crack cocaine ring operating just blocks from an elementary school in Southeast D.C. was dismantled today in a sweeping raid involving 500 officers and 30 search warrants across D.C. and Maryland. Fourteen people were arrested, facing federal charges including trafficking near a protected location — a crime that could land them five to life in prison. Authorities seized over 2.4 kilos of crack, a kilo of cocaine hydrochloride, 29 grams of fentanyl, 12 pounds of marijuana, and 19 guns. The operation, led by D.C. police, the FBI, DEA, and Homeland Security, underscores law enforcement’s commitment to eradicating drug trafficking near schools and protecting vulnerable communities.
