MT. DORA POLICE RAIDS CRACK DOWN ON DRUGS

3/8/2016

5 Comments

 
Early this morning Mount Dora Police executed 5 search warrants with 8 arrests netting the seizure of drugs and weapons.

Members of the Mount Dora Police Department's Special Operation Unit, with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration, concluded a 4-month operation within Mount Dora city limits.  The operation, named "Operation: Crackdown"  targeted lower and mid-level drug dealers.

 As part of the operation, five search warrants were executed resulting in 8 arrests and the seizure of large amounts of marijuana, prescription drugs and multiple firearms, including one firearm stolen from Orlando.


The operation took place this morning at approximately 5:45 a.m., when more than 100 law enforcement officers, including SWAT teams from Mount Dora and Eustis, Lake County Sheriff’s Office and DEA, executed four search warrants in Mount Dora’s northeast and one in the city’s southeast. The majority of the search warrants were in close proximity of Mount Dora High School or Mount Dora Middle School. 

After the execution of the search warrants MDPD’s Code Enforcement Unit was called in to look at each residence. Code Enforcement found numerous violations in each residence leading to five new, open cases. Two of the residences were in such a state of disrepair that they have been condemned.

Addresses of the warrants are listed below:
1.      917 Lincoln Avenue (condemned)
2.      1306 N. Simpson Street
3.      531 E. Jackson Avenue (condemned)
4.      1025 E. Jackson Avenue
5.      326 N. Simpson Street

Now if they could get rid of the crackhouse in our neighborhood it would be great! Been here 5 years they have raided twice that I know of and they get out a day later and do it all over again. We live in what they call a good neighborhood but this spoils it. Breaking into cars at night, breaking into houses==

I live in Mt. Dora also. House broke into in October by a career B&E male that lives with Mommy near the high school. Police know him quite well. Wish they could clean up this mess. This city has a lot of under cover detective's. Don't think they want that info made public. Sorry about your area. I live near Jeramiah's restaurant.

My house was broken into as well very recently by I believe the same punk as yours. They will get their day and I will not feel for them or the parents

I totally agree. I wish they would concentrate on the crack and heroin offenders. Instead of petty pot bs.

Is that seriously 89 dollars? Waste of tax dollars at work. Can't get a detective to find anything pof yours that was stolen but they can put months of work into something on the ballet to become legal. Great job guys.
