Massive narcotics bust nets $1.4 million in drugs; 175 arrests made

It was a three-day blitz to target drugs and violent crime in a Philadelphia neighborhood hit very hard by both.

Mayor Jim Kenney announced the results Monday of the sweeping multi-agency effort that unfolded in Kensington last week.

In all, it netted 175 arrests, more than $1.4 million in drugs and about 27 guns. #philadelphia #news

It still boggles my mind on how and why Philadelphia's elected officials ( doesn't matter which party they are ) let kensington become what it is now. No one of group of elected officials have been held accountable for the destruction of this neighborhood

It will get resold back into the streets. Its a Philly thing. Its a show and tell

[heygetoffmylawn]

They’ll be back on the streets in less than an hour.

Where does all the guns, drugs, and money goes??? guns gets auctioned back the criminals, drugs are put back out on the streets, and the money goes straight into the corrupt politician's pockets!!! Who is responsible to audit these items???

Total show bust. Doesn't scratch the surface.

[alblar]

I wonder how many days will take to all those weapons and drugs to "disappeare"

[carl-crrp]

Sounds like a big bust, too bad that nothing will change.

[mrflagrant]

Hooray!!! However, overall, Outlaw is a weak police commissioner. Krasner also sucks as DA. Both need to be gone.

[dimenicomendez]

Another one down, 100 new ones opened today.

[jahairl]

Good work. More operations of this magnitude are needed in cities across the US where drugs, crime, and violence are focused.

[lastingbeauty]

Krasner will let them back out on the streets

[greggreg]

That’s a lot of party supplies and a lot of hardware⚡️💥

[papadre]

So what happens to the Guns and Drugs .do they reappear in some other city or town.

[Everythingbreakfast]

They don't care about the area becuz it's our area...the better question is how can we as a people stop this bs and clean up our neighborhood

[timothyhess]

Gonna have to do more bust to get rid of problem get the big guys

[styledox]
