Indictments issued in Valley Drug Conspiracy

The Front Royal/Warren County Team of the Northwest Virginia Regional Drug Task Force has been involved in a joint investigation with the Drug Enforcement Agency; Winchester Resident Office relating to widespread heroin distribution throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley. The investigation has spanned three plus years and is still currently on-going.

During the course of the investigation, several sources of heroin were identified from the Baltimore, Maryland area as well as their customer base to include users and sellers. The bulk of that base includes subjects from Shenandoah County, Warren County, Frederick County, Clarke County, Loudoun County as well as counties within the vicinity of the Baltimore, Maryland area. Several overdose incidents have been linked to this conspiracy while several other incidents are still being investigated for potential ties.
