SLED takes down suspected Midlands' Mexican heroin cartel - WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina |

SLED takes down suspected Midlands' Mexican heroin cartel - WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina |: "It took state and federal investigators a year to investigate and build a case against 21 people suspected of helping Mexican drug cartels push millions of dollars worth of heroin through South Carolina. Wednesday morning, SLED and the DEA took down the remaining members of the cartel.
Agents call the operation 'Black Poppy,' referring to the color of the heroin they've seized throughout the year-long operation. Since October 2009, agents seized more than 30 kilograms of heroin. Agents said three separate distribution 'cells' were working inside the state from Richland-Lexington Counties, Horry-Georgetown Counties, to the Charleston County area.
The final operation started before dawn Wednesday morning as SLED's SWAT team loaded into a BearCat armored vehicle, headed toward South Congaree. Agents were on the way to arrest a Hispanic man, suspected of working for Mexican cartels, pushing heroin through the Midlands."
