Feds: Drug investigation in Shiprock area nets 6 arrests

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Authorities say a crackdown on narcotics trafficking in northwestern New Mexico has led to arrests of multiple people charged in federal indictments.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Mexico says the multi-agency investigation was launched in response to an increase in methamphetamine trafficking in the Shiprock area of the Navajo Nation.
The office says six people who were arrested Wednesday made initial appearances Thursday in federal court in Farmington.
