Police from the Eastern Division South are reporting tonight that they conducted several successful raids which led to the seizures of drugs and a gun, all found in gang territories.
The Eastern Division Southside Strike Team moved out just before dawn this morning. The first location they visited was the PIV area. At around 6:30, the Strike Team, along with the Special Branch and K9 Unit searched an abandoned lot on Croton Lane where the K9 detected drugs in the area. When the police did a sweep of the location, they found 757 grams - or just over 1 and a half pounds - of marijuana. The drugs were found inside a plastic bag, stuffed inside a speaker, under a pile of garbage. No one was in the area, and so, it was deposited as found property.
About an hour later, the police patrol went to another abandoned lot in the CET Site area. There, the K9 "Bosco" again detected drug. This time they found a black plastic bag containing 152.5 grams - or just over 5 ounces - of compressed marijuana. The officers also discovered a .357 magnum revolver, and since no one was in the area, it was deposited as found property.
At around 10 a.m., the officers went on Mayflower Street to conduct a search of another abandoned lot at that location. The K9 detected drugs, and the officers found 203 grams - or 7.1 ounces - of marijuana inside a black plastic bag, which was stuffed inside a disposed coffee-mate container. Once again, nobody was in the location, and so the drugs were deposited as found property.
