“Operation Dragon Slayer,” a multi-jurisdiction drug sting targeting street level heroin and prescription dealers in Prince William County, ended last week with 19 search warrants, 86 arrest warrants and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, guns and drugs seized.

The bust, carried out between June 24 and June 26 in Prince William, Fairfax, Stafford, Manassas and Manassas Park, was the second phase of “Operation Blue Dragon,” a November 2013 bust that ended in 40 arrests.

“Dragon” is a street name for heroin, and most of the pills circulating in the region were blue, which is where “Blue Dragon” got it’s name, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.

“Blue Dragon” focused on heroin and prescription drug users. In “Operation Dragon Slayer,” authorities targeted the dealers, he said.

In all, police arrested 68 people last week as part of the sting. Eighteen are still wanted.

Detectives from the Prince William County-Manassas City-Manassas Park Narcotics Task Force began the operation in April, police said in a news release.

As part of the investigation,police searched homes in the 9200 block of Douglas Street in Manassas, the 14800 block of Emberdale Drive in Dale City, the 1300 block of Bayside Avenue in Woodbridge, the 7500 block of Gales Court in Manassas, the 4600 block of Central Park Drive in Dale City, the 15300 block of Inlet Place in Dumfries, the 900 block of Wingfield Road in Woodbridge, the 13700 block of Joyce Road in Woodbridge, the 2900 block of Fox Lair Drive in Woodbridge, the 4100 block of Hoffman Drive in Dale City, the 2900 block of Buell Court in Dumfries, the 16900 block of Jed Forrest Lane in Woodbridge, Maryanne Avenue in Stafford, the 2000 block of Youngs Drive in Haymarket, the 9200 block of Taney Road in Manassas, the 3900 block of Laurel Street in Dumfries, the 18500 block of Triangle Street in Triangle and the 3100 block of Oakmont Avenue in Triangle.

During the searches, authorities seized more than $100,000, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, prescription medications, evidence of drug distribution, drug paraphernalia, and firearms including handguns, shotguns and rifles.

Those arrested in both stings were also offered education about drug distribution, and resources from the Prince William County Community Services Board and the police chaplain unit “to educate the individual on substance abuse” and “information about how to receive help,” police said in the news release.

Police said they want to remind people to secure their prescription medications in their homes and follow doctor’s recommendations when using any prescribed medicines.

If you have prescription medicine you no longer need, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to dispose of it or contact the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Take-Back Initiative at 1-800-882-9539.

Although I am happy about these crackdowns, I can't help but think of the timing of this, during the recent SCOTUS decision against warrant-less cell phone searches.

Small pickings this time. This was part 2 from Operation: Blue Dragon

see thread here: http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/2/1362015/1401572.html#msg-1401572

these were street level users/dealers. all i see are dialated pupils. which means they are high while pics were taken. most of these people were charged with possession .. maybe half sold or had enough to have intent to sell. the other half have an addiction... yet all blurred as 68-86 dealers off street is not an accurate statement. .. good to get dealers but why smear the truth. a lot of police work to gather a few hundred grand?? there are plenty of single people in this county doing bigger than that a week. believe that

I knew there was crime and drugs in this area but this is just way too close for comfort. So happy that my home is now on the market and I am getting out of here. Kudos to the police department and the other agencies! Now, cut off the head of the supplier and you will really have something; figuratively speaking, of course. I had no idea, 7 years ago, this type of stuff was here. Truth be told, it probably wasn't nearly this bad 7 years ago either. Get it cleaned up. I hear all kinds of negative comment about Woodbridge now.

And as a life long 41 year old pwc resident i can tell you the west end of county had very little problems til they sold the farms and built gated communities. way to go. yet they are the parents at the local schools thinking they are so perfect.little do they know their precious perfect kids are banging dope in their veins. makes me sick. ... i have one comment. id like to know who told on who to get the busts. thats all it is. break em down get em crying to where they forget they have the right to remain silent. these arent the "suppliers". half are simply users. only 100g total. i stand corrected on my comment yesterday. quick get the news crews on the way we locked up a bunch of addicts. ..had a det tell me one time "im not in the business of rehab im in the business of putting people in jail" news flash-if it was your kid u wouldnt be talking like that det e....you cannot treat an addiction by throwing all of em in jail. or by plastering their pics and charges all over media and high fiven each other. too much hype for quite frankly very little yield. drugs are everywhere my friend. i guarantee u know someone who needs help. u just dont know it./ keepin it real up on the hill

looks like jim morrison doesn't it ?

you can't seize all that cash from a good looking woman

! she may have made that fair and square hooking !

"i am not going to waste your time preaching"

pfff. dreamer. pay attention !

NY NY charges %50 taxes. HALF your paycheck. they are raising poor taxes and targeting private businesses for closure, "how gov wins"

the rich are current claiming a "COMMERCIAL ZONE" (note china has some)

NO TAXES "in the zone". the rich in NY NY stopped payed tax and are giving us the middle finger.

------------------------
i'd of course like a head on a plate for that

I'm curious to see more about operations geared at catching the suppliers.

I would like to know how u can want one person in a house n not the spouse???

I love you Joshua Bachar, your mother will always be here for you!!!

Not hardly does he look like Jim Morrison, u neon

One looks like an Oompa Loompa

Possession of schedule I or II is a felony. The cops now have a boatload of users to turn on suppliers and bargain down the charges and/or the sentence to time served and probation. The users will get help with their addiction either in the jail or through probation and the cops will get more info on the suppliers. Win/win.
