We know we have a drug problem

The Express-Times reports on a drug raid late last week of three homes in the borough resulting in three arrests and three more being wanted (read the article here).

The article notes from one home:

Police seized more than 100 grams of marijuana, more than $1,700 and an assortment of pipes, bongs, scales and packaging materials, Lahovski said.

"We're done pretending," Lahovski said. "We know we have a drug problem."
At another home $500 and 100 grams were found, and later another $1200 was found at the first home with more marijuana and packaging with cocaine residue.

A third home was apparently raided based on a Google map accompanying the article but no arrest information was included.

"We're done pretending," Lahovski said. "We know we have a drug problem."

If they are done pretending, (which I think it is about time!) then I suggest they actively patrol the Borough Park! Do an undercover operation there and I am sure there will be long list of arrests.

Kudos to Nazareth PD, and thank you for finally stating the obvious about the drug problem.

There has been stepped up action against these people over the last year, so let's hope they continue the momentum and pick up the pace and take away the safe haven these people have had for way to long.

What about the gas stations in the area that cater to these kids buying drugs? They sell all types of
"Blunt Wraps" and hookas and they dont check these kids ID's before buying. You know we have a drug problem when the gas stations sell more cigar wraps and rolling papers than gas.
