A recent undercover operation in central Florida targeting online child predators resulted in the arrest of 48 people, including several foreign nationals with immigration alerts, officials announced on July 30.

The operation, which resulted in a “record-breaking” number of arrests for the annual joint law enforcement effort, was coordinated by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and involved nine local, state, and federal agencies, according to the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
