In March, a police officer working at Anaheim\u2019s Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) was monitoring cameras along Beach Blvd when they observed what appeared to be a hand-to-hand drug transaction, according to the Anaheim Police Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time, no police officers were immediately available to respond. However, the RTCC officer was able to identify the driver involved as an Anaheim resident with an active warrant.<\/p>\n

About a week later, that officer was working patrol and located the same vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. <\/p>\n

During the stop, the officer located baggies of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the driver\u2019s possession.<\/p>\n

The driver was arrested for drug sales, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the warrant.<\/p>\n
