The Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) in Florida has charged 68 individuals following a 6-month-long drug investigation carried out on gay dating apps.
All drug transactions occurred through Grindr, Scruff, and Taimi, with Grindr producing the most transactions of the three apps, the PCSO said in a release.

The sheriff’s office has arrested sixty of the suspects, while another eight are at large and have arrest warrants out for them.
