In West Texas, a recent drug operation led by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) resulted in the arrest of 12 individuals and the confiscation of six kilograms of cocaine. The operation involved the search of six different locations, where law enforcement authorities discovered cocaine, a sum of $55,000 in cash, and five firearms.
