OCEAN CITY, Md.- The Ocean City Police Department is calling "Operation Sand Dollar" a success.
An undercover sting involving an officer posing as a cab driver started in January 2010. It has yielded 34 indictments. The suspects are charged with distributing or conspiring to distribute controlled dangerous substances, ranging from marijuana, cocaine, oxycodone and even morphine in the "Tipsy Taxi."
According to authorities, four of the suspects are behind bars. Those who no longer live in Ocean City will be forwarded to the Maryland State Police Fugitive Unit. Meantime, more disguises may be in the works for officers.
"We could have someone pose as a maid, or a bartender at a local bar/restaurant, or it could be street performer or a driver, you never know so we're warning drug dealers beware," said Chief Bernadette Dipino.
