More than 120 arrested in multi-agency Volusia County crime crackdown

More than 120 people were arrested during October in a coordinated Volusia County crackdown involving the sheriff’s office, Daytona Beach police and the FBI. The agencies said the month-long effort followed a rise in violent crime and targeted wanted fugitives, suspected drug dealers, repeat offenders and people accused of sex crimes. Sheriff Mike Chitwood said the goal was to remove wanted suspects and repeat offenders from the streets.
