An operation zeroing in on narcotic sales in one Hollywood neighborhood led to 18 arrests so far this week, police said Thursday.
More people will likely be charged as result of the action dubbed Operation Safe Streets, which was a joint effort between Hollywood police and the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Bureau.
For five months, beginning in May 2018, detectives assigned to Hollywood’s Vice, Intelligence and Narcotics Unit, neighborhood officers and ATF agents concentrated on drug sales in the Liberia neighborhood, which is just east of Interstate 95 roughly between Stirling Road and Sheridan Street.
During the operation, narcotics, including cocaine and heroin, were purchased from numerous dealers, police said.
“Individuals identified during the investigation had extensive and violent criminal histories to include attempted murder, armed robbery and narcotics offenses,” police said.
Warrants were secured and arrests began Monday, police said.
According to police, bonds for the suspects ranged from $25,000 to $1.3 million. Hollywood’s Neighborhood Team Leaders, Street Crimes Unit and SWAT, along with ATF, Customs and Border Patrol, Homeland Security’s Violent Gang Task Force, the Broward Sheriff’s Office Dania Beach Special Enforcement Team and the Broward County Multi-Agency Gang Task Force teamed up to “locate and apprehend the identified drug offenders.”
