"[Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard] Ross wanted us to identify the prolific offenders, target those offenders, develop intel, take them out of the neighborhood so that we have a quality of life in these neighborhoods, and that's exactly what we're doing and that's what the Narcotics Bureau did in this case," Philadelphia police deputy commissioner Dennis Wilson said.
In all, 163 people were arrested.
