Agents for

the Fayette County Sheriff's Department's Drug Task Force recently helped

seize over $7 million in cocaine from a residence in Lawrenceville.

The agents

conducted the sting in cooperation with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency,

according to Capt. Mike Pruitt of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.

After three

people were arrested in conjunction with the operation, authorities confiscated

250 kilograms of cocaine, Pruitt said.

Fayette County

drug agents also recently seized two pounds of "ice" methamphetamine,

which is a high-grade quality of the drug, according to Pruitt. After

an undercover agent made a deal in Fayette County to purchase the contraband,

detectives used a tracking device and the department's helicopter unit

to follow the vehicle
