The chief of Toledo police says criminal activity has been
low the past few days. The reason: officers have been conducting a massive
pre-emptive sweep. The operation involved 16 different
agencies; including Toledo
police and the State Highway Patrol.
Operation Shield covered the Toledo metropolitan area,
both Lucas and Wood counties over a two day period. It started with traffic
stops. Officers would then try to gather intelligence from the stops, just by
asking questions. Undercover detectives wearing plain clothes would then
follow-up on tips. Those tips would often lead to search warrants at homes and
dozens of arrests.
Among the highlights, Operation Shield
led to the recovery of 4 stolen vehicles, 8 guns, and more than 12,000 grams of
marijuana; that includes about $10,000 worth in the city of Toledo alone. Officers also arrested 8 people
on charges of human trafficking, 49 on felony drug charges and 16 impaired
drivers.
