Cambridgeshire Police officers made 60 arrests during a county lines crackdown called Operation Hypernova 2.
51 county lines, which involved illegal drugs and exploitation across Cambridgeshire, were also dismantled during the Operation.
Crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin and cannabis were all seized during raids, as well as £45,000 in cash and other assets.
Zombie knives, machetes, knuckle dusters and imitation fire arms were also seized.
Operation Hypernova 2 was the biggest operation of its kind in Cambridgeshire, and of the 60 arrests, 33 of them have been charged with 93 drug and human trafficking offences.
Cambridgeshire Police officers carried out 30 dawn raids across Cambridge, Peterborough, Yaxley, Great Paxton, Burwell an Little Wilbraham, as well as over the borders in Bedford, Dunstable, Luton, Northampton, Crowland, Leicester, Sheffield, Rotherham, Teeside, Coventry and London.
The Operation was carried out in a bid to make the county hostile towards county lines drug dealers, prevent further exploitation of young and vulnerable people, and reduce serious street-based violence.
Detective Inspector Andrew Gaunt-Warner, from Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s Intelligence and Specialist Crime Department, said: “Operation Hypernova 2 is the culmination and bringing together of months of intelligence led work to ultimately tackle county lines criminality head on and to leave a message to those exploiting the most vulnerable people in our communities that their actions will not be tolerated if they come to Cambridgeshire.
“It saw teams of officers going through doors at dawn to ensure we capitalised on the early evidence, capturing the drugs, phones, money and assets we need to ensure these people are put behind bars for a lengthy period of time.
“It has resulted in us dismantling 51 active drug lines into Cambridgeshire from across the country, putting 33 people before the courts, safeguarding people and reducing the impact of knife crime and serious street-based violence."
