CANTON, GA — Two men from Canton were part of a multi-county meth bust that ended in 14 arrests.

On Monday, Pickens County deputies and agents of the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad executed search warrants at five locations in Pickens County. These warrants were based on a three-month-long investigation into the sale and distribution of methamphetamine in the Jasper area.

The investigation involves a loosely organized group of individuals who were importing methamphetamine into the Jasper area. As Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad agents began to follow leads and conduct surveillance on the targets of the investigation, they were able to determine that the criminal enterprise reached from Southern California to Jasper.
