On Monday, June 13, the police raided a house in the 5530 block of Junius they suspected of being a front for the selling of drugs. Two individuals were arrested, including one the police believe may be a big fish. Cocaine and heroin were found in the house.

The arrests were made because watchful residents noticed suspicious patterns of behavior and notified the police. This is the second big drug arrest in the area we’ve had in several months. Both came about because of the community’s watchfulness. As Junius Heights continues to improve, the illegal pharmacies are shutting down.

At lot of the crime in the area is caused by the drug traffic, i.e., addicts looking for something to steal to pay for their habit. We had rough weeks earlier this spring but things have settled down recently. We hope we can keep it this way.

For emergencies call 911. For persistent, suspicious patterns of behaviors, please call Sergeant Gonzales at 214-670-4413. He will work with you and he is committed to making East Dallas a better place. Thanks.
