A joint operation between federal and local law enforcement agencies that took place this Wednesday at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles resulted in the seizure of thousands of illegal narcotic pills and more than $10,000 in cash.

The police activity was carried out by agents from the Los Angeles Field Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), in collaboration with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and other agencies, as part of Operation “Free MacArthur Park.”

This initiative seeks to dismantle the supply, trafficking, and public consumption of fentanyl and methamphetamine, as well as address neighborhood crime and safety issues.
