Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced charges against multiple individuals involved in a drug trafficking operation spanning from Philadelphia to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on February 23, 2026. The operation allegedly involved the distribution of cocaine, fentanyl, and other narcotics throughout western Pennsylvania.
The announcement, made in Johnstown, detailed collaboration between the Office of Attorney General and state and local law enforcement partners. According to the Attorney General’s office, the ring was responsible for bringing narcotics into Cambria County.
This action follows a separate announcement made by Attorney General Sunday on the same day, February 23, 2026, regarding increased firearms seizures by Office of Attorney General narcotics agents in southwestern Pennsylvania. Sunday stated that the increase in seized weapons illustrates the growing dangers faced by law enforcement during drug trafficking investigations.
In a separate warning issued on February 19, 2026, Attorney General Sunday cautioned Pennsylvanians about a scam targeting residents with fraudulent messages impersonating municipal courts. The scam, which appears to originate from Philadelphia Municipal Court, alleges unpaid parking tickets and demands immediate payment or a court appearance.
