Memphis, TN – Authorities carried out a targeted enforcement action this week that resulted in the arrest of eight individuals tied to ongoing drug activity in a neighbourhood long known for persistent criminal issues. According to details shared through a recent WREG Memphis report, officers executed multiple search warrants as part of Operation All of Boyd Round TWO, a coordinated initiative aimed at disrupting drug and gang-related networks.
The arrests were concentrated around Boyd Street near Vance Avenue, an area repeatedly highlighted by law enforcement for entrenched narcotics activity and repeat offenders. Officials say the latest sweep represents a continued effort to stabilise this corridor by identifying high-risk individuals and removing firearms and drugs from circulation.
