The Carteret County Sheriff’s Office, alongside local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, was honored with the 2026 N.C. Gang Association Award for a collaborative operation targeting a local street gang.

The investigation resulted in the seizure of more than 840 grams of fentanyl, 1,500 grams of methamphetamine, and approximately 17 fi****ms, along with 10 arrests. Federal convictions resulted in sentences totaling more than 114 years in federal prison for those involved in drug and firearm trafficking.

We are proud of the dedication, teamwork, and commitment demonstrated by everyone involved in this successful operation and grateful for the partnerships that help keep Carteret County safe.
