DEA is committed to aggressively pursue Drug Trafficking Organizations who are coming from out of state to distribute this poison across New Hampshire in order to profit and destroy people’s lives and wreak havoc in our communities. This investigation demonstrates the strength of collaborative law enforcement efforts in New Hampshire to intensely go after anyone who traffics these drugs.”
