RIGHT NOW: Authorities are holding a news conference to discuss a 'significant' drug bust in Brockton, Mass., that took place Tuesday morning.

More than 30 people were arrested in a sweep meant to combat an open-air drug market in Brockton, Massachusetts, Tuesday morning, police said.

Over 40 people were identified and 34 people were arrested, including"violent and prolific street-level dealers," Massachusetts State Police Col. Christopher Mason said at a news conference. The bust came out of complaints from Brockton residents in May and required officers to go undercover, Mason said. The people who were arrested face charges including selling drugs, trafficking, weapons possession and open warrant violations.

Brockton Mayor Robert Sullivan thanked the law enforcement members -- state and local police, as well as members of the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office -- for what authorities had deemed a"significant" drug bust.
