Richmond, VA – According to the statement, Operation Free Virginia seized over 17,000 pounds of illicit drugs and 18,000 pounds of prescription medications during the 30-day operation.
Governor Glenn Youngkin released the following statement:
“I’m immensely proud of the work done by The Secretariat of Public Safety and Homeland Security and Virginia State Police.
Through their tireless efforts this first-of-its-kind operation seized enough fentanyl to kill more people than the entire population of Virginia.
While we still have a long way to go towards our goal of eliminating fentanyl in the Commonwealth, these results are significant, and proof of the positive work being done in our communities.”
