Searches at their homes revealed even more drugs and evidence of a larger operation. Jabbar admitted to supplying heroin and cocaine, while Harrison pleaded guilty to crack cocaine and heroin charges. The operation, part of “Operation Fearless,” began in January and followed months of investigation. Police say the bust highlights their ongoing fight against drug crime and their commitment to community safety, with both men scheduled for sentencing in September.
