Baltimore County, MD – A months-long investigation led by the Baltimore County Police Department and federal partners has resulted in the takedown of a major drug trafficking organization accused of transporting cocaine from Texas to Maryland.
According to the Baltimore County Police Department, Chief Robert McCullough joined state and federal officials Tuesday to announce the seizure of 43 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of $4.3 million. The joint operation included the DEA Washington Division, Baltimore City and County State’s Attorneys, and the Washington/Baltimore HIDTA program.
Police said the investigation began in January 2025, led by detectives from the department’s Vice/Narcotics Section. After months of surveillance and coordination, officers executed several search and seizure warrants targeting individuals allegedly involved in importing and distributing cocaine throughout the region.
Authorities emphasized the cooperative effort between local and federal law enforcement as critical to dismantling the organization’s supply chain. “This case demonstrates the impact of collaboration in tackling large-scale narcotics trafficking,” police said in a statement.
Officials have not yet released details regarding arrests or pending charges, citing the ongoing investigation.
