CHICAGO -- After almost six months of investigation, the Chicago Police Department busted a ring of dealers and shut down a drug market in the Englewood neighborhood, police said Friday. Police arrested three men, had two already in custody on other offenses and issued warrants for five others.
Police began the investigation in October after receiving complaints from citizens about the sale of crack cocaine on the sidewalks in front of children as they walked to and from school, police said.
Police targeted two corners: West 64th Street and South Stewart Avenue and West 66th Street and South Parnell Avenue. The drug deals made a total of $2,400 a day, police said.
