The New York State Attorney General is announcing a big sweep of drug dealers in Central New York that she blames for distributing narcotics across at least five counties.

James says the rings are accused of moving significant amounts of drugs across Central and Upstate New York.

The operations were said to have been conducted in Onondaga, Saint Lawrence, Jefferson, Oswego and Oneida Counties and involved the sale of cocaine, heroin and fentanyl.
