On Tuesday, Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrested several members of the Sinaloa Cartel as part of an 18-month investigation dubbed Operation Broken Glass. The arrests took place in the Salt Lake Valley and along Interstate 15 in and around Juab County.

DEA Supervisory Special Agent Sue Thomas told the Associated Press: “It was a great day. We removed the cell head, who was the guy who was coordinating the shipments coming to Utah from Mexico and California.â€
