Their charges ranged from Felony Gaming, Carrying a Concealed Weapon to Trafficking in Opium. Arrests teams were mobilized this morning. At the time of this release of information, 26 of the 40 suspects were arrested, as well as an additional 3 persons found to have outstanding Warrants for Arrest.

Additionally, illegal narcotics and drug paraphernalia were recovered during the operation.

The Lenoir Police Department and assisting agencies continue the work of apprehending the remaining wanted suspects.

Local and state agencies that assisted with the round-up included:

* North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement

* North Carolina Probation and Parole

* Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office

Lenoir Police Chief Brent Phelps called the operation a strong message for the criminal element:

“We will move heaven and earth to protect the community we are sworn to serve. The Lenoir Police Department will continue to leverage all the resources available to ensure our community remains a safe one.”
