Britain's National Crime Agency has arrested six people as part of a major crackdown on the hidden "dark web".
Those held include the suspected administrators of the online drug market place Silk Road 2.0 - which sprung up after the original was shut down - as well as illegal drug vendors on the dark web.
The European Cybercrime Centre - using intelligence developed by US counterparts - also took down the technical infrastructure that is key to the hosting of the illegal market places.
As a result, more than 400 dark websites disappeared from the web.
The dark web consists of websites and content which is not indexed by standard searched engines, but can be accessed with relative ease using special software.
The NCA's deputy director Roy McComb said more arrests were expected, and warned that the dark web was "like any other organised crime network".
"It may take time and effort to investigate and build a criminal case, but we are determined to identify and prosecute people caught dealing drugs and committing serious crime using the dark web," he said.
The six people arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs were a 20-year-old man from Liverpool, a 19-year-old man from New Waltham, Lincolnshire, a 30-year-old man from Cleethorpes, a 29-year-old man from Aberdovey, Wales, a 58-year-old man from Aberdovey, Wales, and a 58-year-old woman from Aberdovey, Wales.
All six have been interviewed and bailed pending further enquiries.
A "large amount" of computer equipment was seized at all the addresses searched and will be forensically examined.
