In a sweeping drug bust early Tuesday morning, the Los Alamos Police Department (LAPD) arrested four local high school students on charges related to drug trafficking. The arrests were part of a four-month long investigation dubbed "Operation L.E.A.D" (Law Enforcement Against Drugs).
The operation, which began around 7 a.m., resulted in the arrest of two 16-year-old girls, a 16-year-old boy, and 18-year-old Isaiah Jones.
