Californian university in huge drug sweep
Tuesday 6th May, 2008
A sweeping drug investigation at San Diego State University in California has found large amounts of cocaine and Ecstasy pills along with marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, amphetamine, illicit prescription drugs, guns and cash.
96 people have been arrested, including students and some fraternity members, who were openly dealing drugs on campus and over the Internet.
The undercover probe was sparked by the deaths of two students from cocaine overdoses.
During the probe, investigators discovered that in some fraternities most members were aware of organised drug dealing.
The District Attorney's office said search warrants were served by university police and federal drug agents who worked together in the investigation, making more than 130 undercover drug buys at locations including fraternity houses, student parking areas and dormitories.
San Diego State is one of the largest schools in California's state university system with about 34,000 students.
