POTTSTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT
PRESS RELEASE - Wednesday, August 31, 2005
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Pottstown Police Department Chief of Police Mark D. Flanders and Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor, Jr. are pleased to announce the arrests of twenty-three (23) subjects during several High-Visibility Joint Drug Interdiction Initiatives that were conducted late last week, mainly in the areas bordered by Eighth St., Adams St., the Industrial Hwy., and Manatawny St.
Officers from the Pottstown Police Department, the Norristown Police Department, members of the Montgomery County District Attorney's Drug Task Force, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET), and with helicopter surveillance and support provided by the Army National Guard's Counter Drug Initiative hit the streets Last Wednesday (08/24/2005), Thursday (08/26/2005), and Friday (08/26/2005) nights. Chief Flanders indicates that, "The intent of these high-visibility activities was to identify drug dealers in the Borough, disrupt their activities, develop intelligence for future operations, and to make arrests for drug violations along with crimes that have an affect on the quality of life in our Borough."
Thanking District Attorney Castor for his continued support, Norristown Police Chief Russell Bono for the support of his officers, and the Army National Guard for their assistance, Chief Flanders reiterated his earlier comments, "This initiative will continue as we work to rid our neighborhoods of drug traffickers and to improve the quality of life for our residents. As we continue in our efforts and as these investigations continue to unfold, there will be more arrests to come."
