Sophisticated Drug Operation Run by High School Teens

Prohibitions always create excellent business opportunities

A pair of teenage brothers in Portsmouth, New Hampshire is accused of running one of the most vast and sophisticated drug rings police here have ever seen.

"Really the scope of the investigation is pretty unprecedented for us," says Deputy Police Chief Corey MacDonald.

Portsmouth detectives say the 15 and 16-year-old boys were running a lucrative business selling a wide range of drugs to classmates at Portsmouth High School.

They arrested the duo in the apartment they shared with their mother, who has not been charged.
