The Region : Inglewood ‘Sting’ Nets 23 in Drug Case

Inglewood police went into the cocaine business again, arresting 23 of their customers. Lt. Larry Carter said officers first raided a “rock” house in the 900 block of N. Eucalyptus Avenue, booking three occupants on suspicion of possessing cocaine for sale. Then, as they had done seven times previously, officers waited on patrons--and arrested them. Carter said 160 people have been taken into custody in the eight sting operations. “Without buyers, there can be no sellers,” Carter said.
