More cliff notes
the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) initiated Operation Fox Hunt in August of 2009. Undercover RCSO deputies posed as members of the Augusta community interested in purchasing guns and drugs from the criminal element. During the operation, undercover officers purchased or recovered over 192 firearms, including handguns, rifles, assault rifles and sawed-off shotguns; and, approximately $75,000 worth of illegal drugs, including marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy pills. Many of the individuals who allegedly sold firearms and drugs to the undercover agents are convicted felons. In addition, a number of the guns purchased by undercover agents were reported stolen.
Good ole fashion police work.
