DULUTH – Federal drug officials announced Wednesday they will ramp up their presence here, in an attempt to disrupt mid- to high-level traffickers in a region ravaged by meth, heroin and prescription opioids.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will open the new Duluth post this year, embedding two DEA agents and two federally deputized officers into a regional drug task force that operates around the North Shore area.
