HARRISBURG — Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced that agents from the Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, along with local officers from Indiana County, are in the process of arresting 16 suspected drug dealers who have been identified in an ongoing heroin trafficking investigation.
Corbett said today’s arrests are part of an ongoing effort to identify individuals involved in the distribution and sale of heroin in communities throughout Indiana and surrounding counties.
“The mass marketing of cheap and powerful heroin is having a dramatic impact on small towns and mid-size cities all across Pennsylvania, “Corbett said, “fueling addiction and also driving an increase in other criminal activity in small towns and mid-size cities across the state — including burglaries, retail theft, robberies and drug-related violence.”
