Over 50 arrests made by LCSO after significant operation Over 50 people have been arrested after the Lee County Sheriff’s Office conducted an operation they dubbed Trick or Tweak.
Over 50 people have been arrested after the Lee County Sheriff’s Office conducted an operation they dubbed Trick or Tweak. Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno discussed the investigation during a news conference Wednesday afternoon. Operation Trick or Tweak was a multi-month-long investigation aimed at targeting criminals who Marceno said are “poisoning our community.” Of those arrests, 37 were trafficking charges. Detectives seized 4.5 kilos of powdered cocaine, 70 pounds of marijuana, 22 firearms and over 550 grams of fentanyl. They also seized $60,000, four vehicles, two ATVs and a jet ski. The team worked up to Wednesday morning, serving a final search warrant at a residence in North Fort Myers. This operation focused on targeting high-end suppliers. “Not even the hurricanes will stop these operations,” Marceno said.
