VIOLENT CARTELS MAY SET SIGHTS ON SC AS DRUGS FLOW UP I-85 THROUGH GREENVILLE
Violent cartels that import drugs from Mexico could be looking to
strengthen their presence in South Carolina as a crackdown drives them
out of their distribution hub in Atlanta.
The gangs could bring a whole new set of problems - including
shootouts with police -- to a state plagued with the nation's
second-highest violent crime rate.
Their drugs are already flowing through Greenville by way of
Interstate 85 and heading for destinations all over the East Coast,
authorities said.
