ELSMERE, Del. — Police in a Delaware town are calling on drug dealers to snitch on their competition.
In a Facebook post Tuesday, Elsmere police tell dealers that if they’d like to get rid of competitors who are cutting into their sales, they can leave anonymous tips with names, addresses or phone numbers.
Chief Laura Giles says her son, who goes to college in Texas, saw a department there using a similar tactic and suggested it to her.
Giles says it’s already working. Within 24 hours of posting the call for tipsters, Giles says the department has received two reports and investigations are underway.
