Major drug bust leads to arrest of 12

MADISON, Wis. — Twelve people were arrested in southeastern Wisconsin in a long-term federal drug and money laundering investigation based out of Milwaukee, according to a release from the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

The investigation was a combined effort by the Division of Criminal Investigation, local and federal law enforcement and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

“Heroin, cocaine, and other dangerous drugs are responsible for the destruction of countless lives in Wisconsin,” Attorney General Brad Schimel said. “Today’s takedown of major drug traffickers in southeastern Wisconsin is a big win for law enforcement, the community, and those seeking justice from the drug crisis our state is facing.”
