ALBANY, Ga. (WTXL) - The Albany-Dougherty Drug Unit commander has a message for drug traffickers still on the streets. He's after you.

In a press conference Tuesday, officials explained that after months of hard work, agents made a total of seven arrests of mid- to upper-level drug traffickers.

Approximately $286,000 worth of drugs were seized along with stolen weapons.

Charges for the seven range from trafficking heroin, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and tampering with evidence.

The drug squad is a part of the mayor's new safe city coalition, a newly formed team to combat major crime.
