(Reuters) In the first crackdown on Internet traffickers of "date rape" drugs, U.S. and Canadian authorities recently broke up four distribution rings.
After a two-year investigation, DEA agents and law enforcement officials began "Operation Webslinger" on Wednesday, making 115 arrests in 84 U.S. cities and in Quebec City, Canada. The investigation targeted individuals and organizations supplying large quantities of date-rape drugs (GHB, GBL and/or 1,4 Butanediol) ordered over the Internet and delivered by mail.
