The U.S. Marshals carried out an operation in June that resulted in the discovery of dozens of “critically missing” children across three Tampa Bay-area counties in Florida, officials announced Monday.

The U.S. Marshals Service Middle District of Florida launched Operation Dragon Eye in a bid to “recover or safely locate the most critically missing youth” in the state, according to a statement from the office.
