Orlando's Wesh 2 News reports that several arrests were made after more than 1,400 pounds of methamphetamine was seized in an investigation known to Polk County officials as "Operation Dirty Water."
In a Thursday press conference, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the public that the operation was "the largest methamphetamine seizure in the history of the Polk County Sheriff's Office."
He went on to explain that the "largest seizure" included 1,342 pounds of liquid meth— which was being transported across state lines in buckets — as well as 63 kilos of crystal meth, 25 pounds of THC edibles and 2,544 Xanax pills. The street value for all these drugs is roughly $54 million.
