Multiple law enforcement agencies in El Dorado County arrested more than two dozen suspects last week in an operation targeting drug operations on the West Slope and in the South Lake Tahoe Basin, authorities said.

The El Dorado County District Attorney's Office and Sheriff's Office said in a joint press statement that a two-night enforcement action dubbed "Operation Folsom Blues 3.0" was designed to disrupt narcotics distribution, recover weapons involved in crimes, and check probation compliance in identified hotspots.

The warrants and compliance checks were also designed to reduce overdose and violence risks, the statement said, as well as sending a warning to drug traffickers.
