Today’s Good News

Second Precinct Sergeants Richard Edwards, Frank Scarpa and James Hale along with Officers Matthew Segal and Carlos Aguillon-Soto recently investigated a complaint about drugs being sold out of a residence on Larchmont Lane. As they approached the home, two people ran from the residence and one was quickly arrested. After seeing numerous drug paraphernalia in plain view, they obtained a search warrant and seized 77 grams of crack cocaine, 3 grams of powdered cocaine, 75 grams of marijuana, a stolen handgun, cash, scales and other narcotics-selling instruments. Their investigating remains ongoing. Thank you officers for removing those illegal items from the streets!
