Council Targets Phone Use by Drug Dealers
From Times Staff Reports
The Los Angeles City Council is trying to force the owner of two phone booths in North Hills that are used by drug dealers to remove them or restrict their use.
On a motion from council President Alex Padilla, the council unanimously voted to seek public nuisance abatement proceedings against the company.
Residents have complained that phone booths near Parthenia Street and Cedros Avenue were used by drug sellers to conduct business.
