50 Arrests Made By LAPD in Skid Row Drug Investigation
The Los Angeles Police Department has arrested 50 people in their Skid Row drug investigation.
Drug dealers often target the homeless Skid Row residents when they are receiving their government assistance checks at the beginning of each month.
On Friday, the department announced that they had made 50 arrests and have 16 more pending after a two-year long drug investigation.
“This investigation showed us there are people living in the suburbs, some with violent criminal histories, who wake up every day and make the conscious decision to commute to the Downtown area and sell dangerous and highly addictive drugs on the streets,” Drug Enforcement Agency L.A. Field Division Special Agent in Charge Bill Bodner said in a statement on Friday.
