House Seized Under New Drug Program : Narcotics: Local and federal officials say crack was sold at the home. It was raided six times.

A single-family home in South-Central Los Angeles was seized Friday by federal and local law enforcement officials under a relatively new program designed to revitalize Los Angeles neighborhoods blighted by drug trafficking.

Undercover drug agents frequently made narcotics buys from people at the house, according to a statement made by the city attorney’s office.

“The house generated sales of crack to buyers on the street,” said Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Rick Smith, who heads FALCON, an acronym for Focused Attack Linking Community Organizations and Neighborhoods.

There were no arrests and no drugs were seized at the home on West 104th Street Friday, he said.

Under the action, the house was declared a “a chronic nuisance” and was seized by agents from the U.S. marshal’s office, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Police Department, according to the city attorney’s office.

The stucco house, valued at $70,000, was placed under the control of the U.S. marshal’s office. It is subject to forfeiture under laws authorizing seizure of property used for narcotics transactions.

Forfeiture may be fought by the property owner in federal court, and until the process is complete, owner Fannie Henderson, 59, and her three children, Gerald, 33, Dwayne, 31, and Regina, 29, will be allowed to remain, a spokesman for City Atty. James K. Hahn said.

Mary Clare Molidor of the city attorney’s office said in a statement that the house has been the focal point for 65 narcotics-related arrests for the alleged sale of crack cocaine and that it has been raided six times by narcotics agents.

This was the third home seized under the FALCON program, funded last November with a $1.3-million grant from the state Office of Criminal Justice Planning.

Smith said there were 135 drug “hot spots” targeted by FALCON in the city, areas which he said “represent the worst of the worst.”

Since November, Smith said, his West Los Angeles-based group has met with about 50 property owners to try to attack drug trafficking.

“The goal is to revitalize the area,” he said.
