ST. PETERSBURG (AP) — Authorities in the Tampa Bay area have made 10 arrests in a crime sweep aimed at cracking down on suspected drug dealers and career criminals.

Twenty-three charges were filed and one weapon seized. Three arrests were gang related.

Deputies say the sweep came as a result of community concerns over drug problems and criminal activity in their neighborhoods.
