7 arrested in monthslong drug investigation in Myrtle Beach

The Myrtle Beach Police Department arrested seven people Thursday night in a drug operation in the Booker T. Washington area of Myrtle Beach.

Police worked with local, state and federal authorities to make the arrests. The arrests were a result of a monthslong operation following community complaints, Myrtle Beach police said.

The names and charges of those arrested will be announced once warrants are served, authorities said.

“This is another example of the great work done by our officers and our state, local and federal partners,” said Myrtle Beach Police Chief Amy Prock. “Our agency is continuing their work to make Myrtle Beach safer and to stop the sale of drugs that poison our community. Thank you to our community for working with us!”
