The Drug Enforcement Administration operation, dubbed “Operation Overdrive,” stretched to every corner of metro Atlanta.
Nine tactical teams from federal, state and local agencies carried out 18 raids in metro Atlanta targeting the Paper Gang Family, some of whom had violent backgrounds.
Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Mark Winne talked to DEA Atlanta Special Agent In Charge Robert Murphey, who said a special response team raided a house earlier this month and used sound devices to disorient people inside.
“They used violence to be successful to deter other crews from interfering with them and to make a name for themselves,” Murphey said.
“We were prepared for (the raid) and luckily they made good decisions we didn’t have to use it.”
Murphy said agents seized more than 10,000 fentanyl pills, the very drug that caused 2,000 deaths last year in Georgia alone from overdoses. Agents also seized cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana.
They also seized thirty guns, including a Tommy gun with gold-colored parts.
