Caroline County Sheriff, Scott Moser, announces 18 arrests as a result of an undercover drug operation coordinated by members of the CCSO Narcotics Investigations Division and assisted by members of the Virginia State Police Tri-County Task Force, the Town of Bowling Green Police Department, and the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force, Richmond.
During this operation, Caroline Sheriff’s Office narcotics investigators conducted over 35 undercover purchases of fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine, resulting in the seizure of more than $25,000.00 worth of dangerous drugs.
Sheriff Scott Moser stated, “I am very proud of the men and women of the Caroline Sheriff’s Office and their dedication to public safety. I am also
very thankful for the assistance from our partner law enforcement agencies. Fentanyl, and other dangerous drugs have devastating effects on families and communities. In 2022, 1,951 lives were lost in the Commonwealth of Virginia from fentanyl alone. Due to the high numbers of overdose deaths being seen throughout the country, the enforcement of illegal drug distribution is more important now than ever. Drug enforcement is far more than arresting drug dealers, it is about saving lives. The Caroline County Sheriff’s Office, together with our citizens and communities who continue to provide information and assist investigations, will remain vigilant in our efforts to stop illegal drug distribution in Caroline County. Together, we can save lives.”
