Police Arrest 15 in Major Drug Bust in Chicago Downtown

Chicago police arrested 15 suspects early Wednesday in a large-scale drug operation targeting the downtown area. The operation, which began at 3 a.m., led to the seizure of over 50 kilograms of narcotics, including cocaine and methamphetamine, according to Reuters. Officers also confiscated several firearms and over $200,000 in cash. The arrests are part of an ongoing crackdown on drug trafficking networks in the city.
