Law Enforcement with the Dillon County/Dillon City Violent Crime Task Force conducted operations on July 8, 2022 to combat crime throughout the Dillon County/City of Dillon. Law Enforcement officers did go out into the communities to locate suspects who did already have active arrest warrants, as well as to try to prevent any further crimes from taking place.
