The DEA arrested 3 men and seized $7 million in drugs and money, in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth.
The seizure amounted to 86 pounds of heroin worth about $6 million, 4.4 pounds of methamphetamine, and a couple of guns.
The drugs were a big part of the Atlanta heroin scene, and were funneled in by 3 members of the Mexican carter La Familia.
Heroin has made a big comeback recently because dealers have been able to distill more pure and potent forms of the drug, allowing addicts to get an easier high by smoking or snorting it.
Most of the users are addicted to opiates.
