Neighborhood complaints led to the indictment of 42 people on drug charges, authorities said Tuesday.

Officials said they have named the roundup Operation Sudden Impact II as a follow-up to a successful similar crackdown last summer on street-level crack cocaine dealers.

"Not a single day goes by without us receiving a phone call about drugs in a neighborhood," Springfield Police Chief Don Kliment said at a news conference announcing the indictments.

He said the areas targeted for this round of drug purchases were selected based on calls from the public about drug dealing.
