BERNALILLO COUNTY — The New Mexico State Police (NMSP) Crime Suppression Unit (street crimes south element) executed multiple arrest warrants May 19-20 in Albuquerque.

These warrants resulted from a three-month operation focused on the trafficking of illegal narcotics through social media platforms.

During the extensive operation, the Crime Suppression Unit identified 34 individuals selling illegal narcotics. Of the 34, Crime Suppression agents arrested 18 individuals. Those arrested were booked into the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque without incident.

More arrests are forthcoming. 

“New Mexico State Police will continue to target those who sell or are in any way involved in trafficking illegal drugs in this state,” NMSP Chief Robert Thornton. “Large scale, long term complex operations like these are essential to help make our streets and communities safer.”

As a result of this investigation, NMSP seized 3 pounds of Methamphetamine, 439 Fentanyl pills and 11 grams of Cocaine.
