In a timely touch, Detroit police dub their latest anti-crime sweep March Madness. There was a full-court press, but no shooting.
Tuesday's score: 29 felony arrests, 3 misdemeanor arrests, 29 pounds of marijuana, 41 pills, 16 guns and $5,500, according to WXYZ's Simon Shaykhet.
DPD, along with state and federal partners, conducted a narcotics blitz and warrant sweep within specific areas of the city. Police say locations known to participate in narcotic sales along with troublesome gas stations and party stores were also targeted. . . .
More than 200 cops carried out the operation across the city. . . . The goal of the operation was to arrest people with outstanding felony warrants and also inspect the homes of parolees.
Police say this operation is part of the department's "relentless pursuit to rid our streets of its criminal element and drive our city into prosperity."
