Lumpkin traffic stop leads to record meth bust for UCSO

By Charles Duncan

Suches - A multi-million-dollar methamphetamine operation has been shut down in Suches, Union County Sheriff Mack Mason said.

Sheriff Mason said a multi-agency effort, including the Federal and Georgia bureaus of investigation, led to the largest drug bust in the history of Union County – confiscation of 15 kilos of methamphetamine, worth more than an estimated $1 million.

The multi-agency effort also led to the destruction of a highly productive, and profitable methamphetamine conversion laboratory in Suches, which converted liquid methamphetamine into crystal methamphetamine, Sheriff Mason said.
