On the heels of yet another big time drug bust in Center City, I wanted to dig into some of the biggest busts of the year.

We've seen some big drug busts here that were federally charged in the end. All of these busts involved drug amounts of street values over $250,000. The unknown street value ones were over these amounts as well, we just don't have an exact number. Hopefully, this trend can reverse itself.
