Thursday, officers with the Vicksburg Police Department, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and Warren County Drug Court conducted an operation called “Street Corner Sweep.”

The five individuals arrested face charges ranging from probation violation to felony drug possession.

“Drug crime will not be tolerated in the city of Vicksburg and the Vicksburg Police Department and assisting agencies are serious about getting drugs off of our city streets and out of this community in an effort to reduce crime,” Vicksburg Police Chief Milton Moore said.
