Darlington County deputies arrested dozens of people they say are connected to two major drug operations.

Deputies laid out the mug shots of all 44 suspects arrested in "Operation Ghostbusters." They face of variety of charges from possession to distribution of drugs.

Deputies started rounding up the suspects Friday morning. They believe they've put a major dent in illegal drug activity in South Darlington, Dovesville and Hartsville.

"This operation set up so that you can go out and get rid of that criminal aspect that comes with the use and sale of drugs. You don't want to have especially around the holidays ," said Andy Locklear, Darlington County Sheriff's Office.

More arrests are possible.
