Law enforcement uses outstanding warrants to round-up offenders.
By Alicia Suka
LEWISBURG- -- Nearly two dozen people are facing charges after a warrant sweep in Greenbrier County.
Several police agencies started working early Tuesday morning looking for the offenders.
They targeted areas from Rainelle to White Sulphur Springs.
The charges range from grand larceny and burglary to drug offenses.
Many of the alleged offenders were taken by surprise this morning.
Some were sleeping when law enforcement arrived.
Greenbrier County Sheriff Jim Childers says cooperation between agencies helps with round-ups.
"You know when I came on board here we signed a mutual aid agreement which has in effect been a great tool of the state, county and municipalities in Greenbrier County and this is another way it shows the federal, state and county units are working together and that they're tax money is going for cooperation not for different departments trying to take the glory," said Sheriff Childers.
The Greenbrier County Sheriff's Department, State Police as well as U-S Marshals Office participated in the warrant sweep.
