FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Police stopped motorists who entered four neighborhoods known for crack cocaine dealing Thursday, wrote down license plate numbers and said they would warn vehicle owners by letter.
“Not only does it discourage drug activity here,” Deputy Chief Joe Gerwens said, “but I think we have an obligation to the citizens who drive in here to let them know about the dangers of this area.”
The neighborhoods were posted with police signs warning: “Area under police surveillance due to crack sales,” and, “Tag numbers being recorded.”
