The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports on some cross-jurisdictional teamwork between Richmond and Henrico police that has netted some 18 arrests in “an area bounded by Laburnum Avenue to the north, Brookland Park Boulevard to the south, North Avenue to the west, and Meadowbridge Road to the east.”
Five homicides in four months in an area near the Richmond-Henrico County border have led to 18 arrests in a crackdown to “clean out the rat’s nest” of drug activity and violence, authorities said yesterday.
Henrico police Chief Henry W. Stanley Jr., flanked by Richmond Police Chief Bryan T. Norwood at a joint news conference, said the county and city joined forces to remove street-level drug dealers who were plaguing the area.
On Wednesday, Richmond and Henrico police, supported by federal authorities, served five search warrants and arrested 18 people on drug and weapon charges, including distribution of crack cocaine, distribution of heroin, conspiracy to distribute drugs, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug transaction.
