LOCAL : 105 Arrested in Anaheim Drug Sales
Anaheim police today announced the arrests of 105 people after a three-month undercover operation that targeted drug dealers in three neighborhoods near Disneyland.
Since early May, undercover officers have purchased $50,000 worth of cocaine and heroin, Police Chief Joseph P. Molloy said in a news release. Police arrested 75 people on suspicion of selling narcotics and 30 people on suspicion of having narcotics for sale.
Bail for each has been set at $25,000.
Search warrants were obtained for 10 residences where police believe drugs were sold. The owners will be notified that continuing drug sales could result in a seizure of the homes, the news release said. Investigators also identified five Anaheim motels catering to prostitutes who worked in the three targeted neighborhoods. Eight involved in motel management were charged with maintaining a disorderly house, and warrants have been issued for their arrests.
