Fayetteville, N.C. — About 100 law enforcement officers across the state are taking part in a major operation to round up wanted fugitives in Cumberland County.

The three-day "Operation Swift Justice" is focused on arresting approximately 500 people wanted on major felony crimes.

Officers from local, state and federal agencies have been sworn in and are going door-to-door looking for offenders.

P,ease round them up and keep them in jail until court. Sorry if you have to go looking for them, that means they were not planning on coming to court. Let's just hope the judges keep them locked up.

The thing is Falcon, most of the time they aren't caught becuse they are holed up somewhere. You catch them by getting them on the run. When I was in P.I. work, we always said the hardest man to catch was one who didn't have a job or hobby or social life. It's very difficult to catch a crook who isn't moving and isn't at his "last known address".

Sort of like grouse hunting. You have to flush them out first then shoot them on the fly.

"Why not just put this information on TV and in the newspaper? Real smart to let them know you're on the way!"

I would almost agree and at one did 100% until the thought hit me -- you can't kill a mouse with a mouse trap unless you first cause them to come out of hiding........(same for any pest like roaches.....)

You know after I typed in my comment I thought the same thing!! But I dont think they can run to far, if 500 are watched and waited for... I am sure it wont be to far off of a find.
