HCPD: 6 arrested, hundreds of grams of drugs, cash, guns seized from months-long investigation – WMBF
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) – The Horry County Police Department said dozens of illegally possessed weapons and drugs are off of the streets and the individuals responsible are facing criminal charges after an ongoing proactive enforcement campaign.
In mid-2021, Horry County Police Department Narcotics and Street Crimes Units began concentrating on a pattern of criminal activity—drug sales, drive-by shootings, and weapons violations—noted in and around the Loris, Longs and Flag Patch communities of the West Precinct.
HCPD worked with surrounding agencies to gather as much intelligence as possible to identify all actors involved and their known associates, and strategically remove those responsible for over 40 drive-by shootings in the Loris/Longs communities to date in retaliation for a 2021 homicide.
The cases referenced below serve as a small snapshot of the overall work done thus far.
HCPD says there is much more to come, as agents in the Narcotics and Street Crimes Units continue to work every day to disrupt, dismantle, and hold those accountable who wish to illegally possess and discharge weapons in Horry County.
