Descrição
Night after night, after night, i have witnessed obvious drug deals being made by quick action (person walks up to car that just pulls up; pkgs. are passed - money and/drugs; cars speed away. A lot of these dealers then enter Mitchell Heights "visiting" residents and then go back out for more deals. This happens mostly on Friday nights and Sat. nights., but also during the day. It is appalling.
Mitchell Heights is Federal Housing for the elderly. OUTRAGEOUS to have to put up with this in our vicinity. A lot of these people have key-card access provided to them by housing residents who are also on drugs. This has to be investigated by the Housing Authority police and the regular vice police. Check it out on a weekend and see for yourself. The bus stop in front of the building is a great site for these skanks to keep warm and litter while they wait for their "special delivery".
Tips have been called in and nothing seems to be done. It takes time, I know, but this has been going on for over 3 yrs now and I am sick of it.

This could be resolved in a "Sting" if the PD chose to however they could care less I guess.I am sure that this is not the only time it was reported.

Believe me, the Police are very well aware of this problem. The police officers assigned to Housing, Mike Malek and Derek (?) have a "laundry list" of problems in this area and are "understaffed". Yet, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings they are at Mitchell Heights watching, and.....get this..... playing BINGO! with the residents!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!!
No wonder Fall River is in the shape it is in. The Mayor does nothing at all. The "anonymous police tip line" doesn't get results -- yet if you give your name, you are screwed with possible revenge.
I wish you would ask others to vote to have this particular problem solved. It would maybe help to solve the rest of the problems in that area.

Tucker and Chicken,
Your ludicrous posts here in reply to the drug dealing at the South Main highrise just add the the reason people should not take drugs! If you both thing this is a joke,well smoke another one and you will be laughing all the way to jail.

To the persons who are not taking this seriously, Yes! police are called. By the time they get here, the "fast transactions" are done and there is nothing to see. Security cameras are in cities. Some should be put in the areas of this city where crime is high and suspected drug dealing is being reported. Alfred, your posting is ludicrous. (Did you not read and understand the postings that were added?) If you did, I have no clue how you came up with those 2 commenters being "on drugs" themselves.
Nowhere do they say "this is a joke". Drugs are a big problem in this city. So are robberies, carjackings, bank robberies, little old lady robberies, etc. The police cannot be everywhere. But, when a certain area is made know to police, (the corners of Hart and Howe St) after dark, from 11p.m on, I truly believe this area should be monitored. The most drug action occurs on Friday and Saturday evenings. Police have been called many times. Number plates are impossible to get due to darkness and the fast action of these very druggies who know how to "hit and run".
The cameras that "Tucker" viewed appear to be cameras inside Mitchell Heights High rise. I am not aware of any cameras on the streets that can tape the actual transactions.
I am just looking to cut down on crime. I don't want to go to "war" with the Posters on this website.
Looks like people just like to moan and groan and blame others, which is the norm in good old Fall River, MA.
I am thinking of starting a Neighborhood Watch in this area and I will record these transactions.
I will try to do my part to clean up this city.
And, Mayor, we need more police protection ALL OVER THE CITY!!!!! If you concentrate on getting Fall River more officers, people will finally see you truly care about Fall River.

You are absolutely right! I know this area is not the only one where druggies do their dealing, but it is one of the areas being reported publicly through this forum. And nothing is being done that we can see.
And I want to correct "Tucker's" comment about the 2 police officers for Mitchell Heights. I have seen for myself that Derek, the policeman, does indeed play bingo occassionally. He fills in for the seniors who have to leave for a bathroom break, cigarette break, or whatever. The other policeman just stands and watches and bull@*sh*$ts with the residents. And just a comment to "Holdmychicken" --- don't take it out on us for doing our civic duty. And yes, these druggies do approach me and ask for $$$$$ and I am frightened during the day, and especially at night to go to my car. I believe the Garden of Eden was CLOSED due to the 2 sinners, so why should I move there?????? I think this forum is for one reason "REPORT CRIMES, VOTE TO FIX THEM" - PERIOD. Not a place to berate and belittle people for just reporting a problem.
When the police are called, as I said, by the time they arrive, the deals have been done and there is nothing to see. I agree with Thomas that just one weekend, a squad car could watch this area and perform a sting, like they do for the crosswalk problem and handing out tickets for failure to stop for a pedestrian. See, the city gets $$$$$$ doing that. No $$$$$ involved in busting people.
Get informed and then comment or keep your nasty comments to yourself.
