Drug/Prostition House -- Help!

[TB1999]

I have a drug house a few doors down from me. Recently, they have also added prostitution into their mix of services. People go there at all hours of the day and night, I see maybe 10 or so visitors every day.

A few months ago, I was in contact with the narcotics division of IMPD. I gave them all the info I had about the property (including the fact that I believe the owner of the house is running the show) and eventually the dealers moved out. Not more than two weeks later, there was another guy selling drugs out of the same unit.

I understand working with police is my best bet but that is a slow process. Not to mention that even if IMPD continues to clear out the dealers, the owner is just going to keep replacing them.

There are many children in this neighborhood and we are 1/2 block away from an elementary school (Downtown Indy).

Anyone had a similar problem? How did you deal with it?

Any suggestions on something I can do in addition to making complaints to IMPD and Crimewatch? Should I call 911 every time I see something going on?

I have not had that problem but I would not be going to someone else's door. I would call down to the IMPD non emergency line once a week or so until the problem is solved. There really is not much you can/should do until they come to your door.

Hey OP, why don't you send a PM to IMPD31323. You shouldn't post the area that you live on the internet.

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't go to the door. While unpacking the car from tailgating this weekend, one of the guys came out of the apartment and approached me and my buddy asking for cigarettes. He showed me his hospital wristband saying he just got home from the hospital. I said I wouldn't give him one even if I smoked and didn't appreciate them selling drugs right next door to my house. Of course, he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about.

They should start selling combos. They could call them "Crak Paks".

Sounds like a cookout is in order. I'll drive my squad and park it right in front of their house.

I am in.

OP, we have had a few of these issues around us over the years. As hard as IMPD try's to help these butt crack dwellers are like cockroaches. Turn out the lights and they are back. We dealt with it but will not say how on the interwebs. Your entire area has to unite in this.

Maybe more laws will help.

Find out how much they're charging for services and then under bid them.

Best idea yet!!

Ok maybe not the best but definitely the most hilarious

Molitov cocktail.

Molotov. The one with "i" in it isn't as effective.

*I don't officially condone your suggestion.

I'm a mind reader!

Dude, put up a sign offering all officers free soda/coffee/donuts/snacks... Once they all become regulars in your neighborhood, Im pretty sure those that do not enjoy the presence of a lot of law enforcement, will find their way OUT of the neighborhood.

Oh, and throw in car washes... Officers LOVE clean cars!
