Home-Delivery Crack Ring Busted in Halifax
CBC ^ | June 21, 2005 | CBC News

Police in Halifax have busted an operation that sent dealers to people's homes to deliver telephone orders of crack cocaine, magic mushrooms and other drugs.

Fifteen people were arrested early Monday after a five-month investigation by the combined RCMP and Halifax Regional Police drug unit.

Investigators estimate the highly organized "dial-a-dope" dealers were receiving and filling hundreds of telephone orders per week.

Supt. Fred Sanford of the Halifax Regional Police said this kind of operation is "new in our area, but it has been discovered in other parts of Canada."

Officers conducted 10 raids starting at 6:30 a.m. Monday.

In addition to crack, cocaine, magic mushrooms and ecstasy, police seized several vehicles and about $30,000 in cash.

They say more arrests are possible as the evidence seized is examined.

This just lets the other drug dealers know there is a good territory open.

Nothing like letting your street dealer know where you live.

"Yeah, ummm, so I'd like three yellow rocks and a diet coke and...hold on a second...[shouting in the background] HEY! What do you guys want? THey got a special, two mushrooms and a free coke. John? Avery? Ok. Great...Hello? Yeah, sorry about that. So, three yellow rocks, diet coke, two large mushrooms, and a large coke, amd a dimebag of meth."

"35$. Will that be cash or charge?"

"35$! That's outrageous! I remember when you guys used to charge 15$ for the same thing. Uhh, cash I guess."

"30 minutes or its free, sir."

Man, even imagining the orders are classy. On a serious note, though, these things are quickly spreading. A lot of Canadian universities have DIAL-WEED businesses. It's pretty disgusting. My sister told me one of her roommates used to order it occasionally. They basically set up like Fed-Ex: account numbers, and delivery guys on bikes. C.O.D. of course. Classy, eh? The problem is the demand, though, not these guys. These guys will be around so long as people want to drugs and are willing to pay big for them.

Bicycle Messenger Weed Delivery is common in the larger cities in the U.S. Heck, my dealer delivers, and I'm out in the sticks.
