Hi guys,
"...shots fired by gang members hanging out in front of the Krausers convenience store at the intersection of Route 37 and Coolidge Ave."
I'm sure glad I don't live in Gilford Park any more, that was a nice quiet store only 5 years ago.
"Lots of activity (watching houses, tailing cars, C.I.'s etc.) on the Ocean County Prosecuters office Narcotic Strikeforce tonight....seems as if they are in Lakewood. I've heard they are really stirring things up after the recent shootings."
Uh uh, they're ALWAYS in Lakewood, mostly at the bottom of 4th St. by the RR tracks where the dope dealers hang out. BTW, last month one said "We're not in radio contact with Lakewood, they have scanners." (;->) WADDA DOPE! They'd be better off with Lakewood's radios or county interop, they can go "secure".
Ah, so that's the Wall fire that Point Beach responded to. That's typical with Special Response clients, Social Services doesn't deal with the cream of society. A few days before one of the rooming houses they're placed in here on Forman Ave. burnt down and we have at least one motel fire each year. It gets worse, there's one motel here that has dozens of minor incidents per year, mostly cooking fires. That's not the only place in the area, somebody always passes out drunk while cooking dinner. They're walking fire hazards and totally mindless.
"It's mostly welfare and transients that stay there."
Don't include transients with Special Response clients, motels were made for transients AKA travelers.
