Drug Bust

A “drug bust” refers to the law enforcement operation aimed at apprehending individuals involved in the illegal drug trade. This typically includes the seizure of illicit drugs, arrests of suspects, and the disruption of drug trafficking operations. Drug busts can vary in scale from small-scale operations targeting local dealers to large-scale coordinated efforts against major drug cartels. The term highlights the enforcement action taken against drug-related offenses, which often involves undercover work, surveillance, and police raids. The outcome of a drug bust may include the confiscation of controlled substances, weapons, and money derived from illegal drug sales, as well as legal proceedings against those arrested.
