Unalaska Division of Police Service is cracking down on methamphetamine.
For three months, officers have worked to identity local distribution networks using confidential informants and undercover officers, a news release said.
Officers obtained methamphetamine from eight individuals during the operation.
Five people were arrested in a two-day sweep. Another individual was in police custody on unrelated charges. The department expects to make two additional arrests.
Charges against the eight defendants include possession or a controlled substance, distribution of controlled substance and illegal possession of firearms.
