Nineteen people were arrested and over a pound of illegal drugs were recovered in a multi-agency warrant sweep in Jackson County this week.
A social media post by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office Thursday afternoon said the sweep was done Wednesday with agencies including the Banks County Sheriff's Office, the Braselton Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation aiding in the arrests.
Jackson County Sheriff's Office officials said, in total, more than 500 grams of narcotics were seized during the sweep.
"That’s 500 grams of narcotics that will not make it to the streets," Thursday's post said.
