<\/p>\nBROOKLYN PARK, Md. \u2014 At the corner of Cross Street and Wasena Avenue in Brooklyn Park, you\u2019ll find plenty of Christmas decorations, children\u2019s toys and well-kept yards, but residents, like Deborah Geoghan, know there\u2019s far more to the neighborhood than meets the eye.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just mainly you know they\u2019re dealing their drugs,\u201d Geoghan told us, \u201cThat\u2019s about it, but you can see them doing it cause they\u2019ll be sitting up there in a car waiting for somebody to bring something to their window and get it from their window and then they take off in their car.\u201d

While Geoghan just kept her distance from the dealers, others reached out to the Anne Arundel County Police for help.<\/p>\n

Crackdown in Brooklyn Park: Complaints lead to arrests in drug zone<\/p>\n
Crackdown in Brooklyn Park<\/p>\n
Detectives with the Northern Strategic Patrol Team got right to work identifying individuals and residences involved in criminal activity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey observed the area,\u201d said Marc Limansky of the Anne Arundel County Police Department, \u201cThey did some surveillance of the area trying to find particular individuals or look for patterns of behavior\u2026 and based on all the information they were able to gather over that month, they were able to put together arrest warrants and search and seizure warrants.\u201d
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
What began with a foot chase of a man carrying 19 various containers of crack cocaine on Monday was quickly followed by the search of another man\u2019s car that turned up 38 prescription depressants.

Turning to target homes in the area, one raid produced more drugs and over six thousand dollars in cash, while detectives entering a pair of homes on Wasena Avenue recovered hundreds of rounds of ammunition, digital scales and a supply of one of the area\u2019s most deadly drugs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe seized fentanyl pills,\u201d said Limansky, \u201c30 fentanyl pills that can kill 30 people right there so we don\u2019t know how many lives we possibly saved by getting this stuff off the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seizures and arrests, which have restored some measure of safety to a neighborhood which had been overrun by criminals in search of a quick buck.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish they could get rid of how many they can because they\u2019re always here,\u201d sighed Geoghan, \u201cYou know.
