San Francisco's Successful Six-Month Crackdown: Over 900 Drug Dealer Arrests

In a six-month drug crackdown in San Francisco, nearly 700 people were arrested for drug sales and almost 800 were arrested for drug use. The operation, led by multiple law enforcement agencies, focused on dismantling open-air drug markets in the Tenderloin and South of Market areas. Over 420 wanted fugitives were apprehended, and a total of 148 kilos of narcotics, including 80 kilos of fentanyl, were seized. The initiative has resulted in a record number of narcotics cases presented by the District Attorney's office. The mayor expressed the need to continue these efforts to make the neighborhoods safer.
