Drug enforcement officers in the US say they have arrested more than 2,200 people in an investigation targeting Mexican trafficking rings.

The joint operation lasted almost two years and culminated on Wednesday with more than 400 arrests across 16 states.

Officers also seized considerable amounts of methamphetamine, marijuana and heroin.

US Attorney General Eric Holder said Project Deliverance had been a significant blow to Mexican cartels.
