Acting Attorney General Andrew Bruck says 11 people were charged in connection to a drug bust.

Bruck says the charges came following a 10-month long investigation called “Operation Worldwide.”

Prosecutors say Jerome Armstead, of Salem City, was the ringleader of the operation.

Several of his alleged associates were also arrested and charged.

Authorities seized cocaine, suspected heroin, fentanyl and several handguns during the investigation.
