Crime+Investigation Highlights September 2019
60 DAYS IN: NARCOLAND
Brand New & Exclusive | Fridays from 13th September at 21.00
In 60 Days In: Narcoland, six participants go undercover in crucial areas of the biggest drug trafficking corridors in the country, encompassing six counties in Kentucky and Indiana – for a first-hand look into how drug cartels have infiltrated America. The undercover participants have come from a variety of backgrounds to tackle the drug crisis from multiple angles. Viewers will follow participants on the streets and in jail, and will also ride along with local law enforcement within the Narcotics Unit in an attempt to gain an overall view of the epidemic. In addition to gathering intel inside the jail, four other participants – a private investigator, a motivational speaker, an addiction specialist and a former addict turned recovery advocate – will live amongst the locals and infiltrate themselves into the drug scene within Clark and Bullitt County. They will attempt to identify hot spots, dealers and discover where the drugs are originating from. Over the course of eight episodes, teams will go undercover in some of the most dangerous, drug-infested areas in the Midwest.
