Authorities say dozens of suspected drug dealers are behind bars after a massive drug sweep in west Philadelphia and its suburbs.
Police fanned out on Thursday to serve more than 100 arrest warrants during a bust that police say is the culmination of a six-month investigation into dealers who sold drugs on Darby Borough's streets.
Darby Borough Police Chief Robert Smythe says the drug sweep sends a message that police aren't going to tolerate drug sales on the borough's streets.
Police say officers issued 248 arrest warrants and made nearly 200 undercover purchases of drugs during the investigation. More than $48,000 worth of drugs was seized during the probe.
