Operation Clean Sweep Nets 102 Arrests in Crackdown on Kensington-to-Suburbs Drug Pipelines

Pennsylvania prosecutors say coordinated traffic stops near county borders disrupted fentanyl distribution networks.

Overview

  • Authorities reported 102 arrests across two five-day operations, with the most recent phase concluding Friday.
  • Officials said most of those apprehended were drug traffickers, while some people with addiction were diverted to treatment.
  • Montgomery County’s district attorney said investigators shared intelligence to trace supply lines from Kensington into the collar counties and conducted targeted traffic stops near the city’s borders.
  • Police said the stops yielded more than $365,000 worth of illegal drugs, including fentanyl, heroin, suboxone and psilocybin.
  • The initiative builds on 2025’s large fentanyl seizures statewide and follows the recent federal indictment of 33 people tied to Kensington’s Weymouth Street organization.
