Federal and Los Angeles law enforcement agencies have initiated a major drug crackdown in Downtown LA's notorious Skid Row area. The operation, dubbed 'Operation Save Skid Row,' targets alleged drug dealers and a massive criminal network operating in the neighborhood.
Multi-agency efforts are underway, described as a sweeping drug trafficking bust. Reports indicate that at least 21 suspects have been arrested as part of the ongoing operation. A 100-strong convoy reportedly stormed the area during the series of raids.
The crackdown aims to address drug dealing in what has been described as America’s filthiest neighborhood. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
