Following an effort to locate illegal substances being shipped through the U.S. mail system in north Georgia, four people were taken into custody.
A group of law enforcement officials from the federal, state, and local levels discovered during the course of two weeks in March that fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms, oxycodone, Xanax, steroids, marijuana, guns, and substantial sums of money that were allegedly connected to drug trafficking were being sent through the mail.
The identities of the four detained suspects were withheld by the authorities.

“We are relentless in our efforts to identify, disrupt, and prosecute those who use the U.S. Mail to traffic illegal drugs and firearms,” U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan stated.
“Our continued collaboration with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners is a priority crucial to curtailing the illegal flow of drugs and weapons into our communities. Those contemplating illegal shipments of such contraband should be aware of the serious consequences of committing this crime.”
