There’s this organization in Baltimore called “Safe Streets” that utilizes former felons to stem the spread of crime in the city. The Baltimore Sun<\/a> reports that a recent police raid of one of their offices came up with a stash of guns, drugs and paraphernalia related to the drug trade;<\/p>\n

Police said this week’s investigation began when they were called about 2:26 a.m. Monday to the intersection of Hillen and Forrest streets, just south of East Monument Street, where a man said he was just robbed at gunpoint by two men in a gray SUV.<\/p>\n

Soon after, an officer spotted the vehicle parked in the 2300 block of E. Monument and saw men dart inside the Safe Streets office. When officers eventually raided the office, they found guns, heroin, cocaine, and other items used in the manufacturing and sale of drugs, including cutting agents and scales, police said.<\/p>\n

Nine people were arrested at the site, including two Safe Streets employees….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those two who were arrested were co-defendants in a drug case a few years ago, one has been twice charged with murder, but no convictions.<\/p>\n

Operations of Safe Streets have been suspended pending a wider investigation, but Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has expressed her support for the organization, so we know how the investigation will turn out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
