More than 2 dozen arrested in 'Operation Holy Rollers' drug takedown
Date Added: July 01, 2026 2:51 pm
Operation Holy Rollers concluded Tuesday with the execution of 5 early-morning search warrants across East Volusia County and the successful apprehension of more than 2 dozen targets and fugitives.
The primary warrants centered on narcotics trafficking, manufacturing, and possession, yielding significant seizures of fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA, cannabis products, drug manufacturing equipment, firearms (including altered/serial‑number‑removed weapons), and cash.
Several high‑level offenders were arrested on trafficking and armed trafficking charges, with many held on no-bond status due to the severity of offenses. Additional subjects encountered during the operation were connected to other active investigations.
Together, the warrants and fugitive operations dismantled several narcotics distribution points, removed trafficking‑level quantities of dangerous drugs from the community, and resulted in multiple felony arrests linked to fentanyl manufacturing, armed drug trafficking, and organized distribution networks. Continued efforts are underway to locate and apprehend remaining targets.
The most significant search warrants and arrest details are listed below.
