$22,000 indrugs and cash and one gun? Street Level crimes? Seems like a lot of manpower for such small results. Plea bargain time. Never-the-less I'll reserve judgement until I see how many actual convictions come from the 17 arrests.

We hope to sell our home next year because we are too through with this area (Spring Meadows) which is right near where these areas were targeted. They need to tear those low income housing down and that little shop of stores off Reese road.

Well the police need to keep up the work, not just walk away now. Funny, three near slums by an army base that is relocating jobs to the area, but what families would want to live near this. Good for Howard co., better neighborhoods and schools. These areas are saturated with low-income but HUD sends more. And the county ignores complaints of loitering, and trash, all over the place. I wonder if the police have ever issued a littering ticket.

No doubt these news will negatively impact the resale value of propertie in these area. Thought this is really not new news. Military authorities have some of these areas as restricted for military for a while.
Looking at the bright point, maybe the rids will be tne beginning of cleaning these areas an improving tmen.

How delightful, and so near home!!! O'Malley, please move these people into your neighborhood: we're tired of dealing with them here. (You won't, of course, because you're as NIMBY as they come. Can't wait to tell you how much I love you and your tax-and-tax policies in November!!

The drug/gun crime and the low lives that bring this type of stuff to these neighborhoods are like a cancer. And its spreading.
