On Limit Street in Bagdad, Florida, undercover officers say there was an unlimited supply of drugs being bought and sold.
Crack and powder cocaine, prescription drugs, marijuana and guns.
Sheriff Wendall Hall says hundreds of thousands of dollars of drugs are off the street and so are some pretty big drug dealers. "We wanted to get some main players that we have dealt with for years in the drug community and these were big targets and they were certainly worth the time and the effort and the money spent on them."
Undercover officers say a gathering place along Limit Street was an open air drug market where you could get just about anything you wanted. But neighbors say that's not true. "We sit there, we sit out and drink beer.There is no drugs or nothing. Ain't never seen no drugs being out there," a woman who didn't want to be identified tells News Five.
Sheriff Hall says this was not a good place to live and raise children but after their two year investigation, the streets are safe and the drug dealers are out of business.

That’s just ducky isn’t it? Their police risked their lives to take down a major drug operation in their area to make their lives a little safer and some of the people of the neighborhood say"that’s not true there ain’t no drugs or nothing,ain’t seen no drugs. We just sit out and drink our beer”. It must make the police wonder if it’s worth the effort in areas like these.
