Police crush crack cocaine ring; dozens arrested

In the largest operation of its kind in Palm Beach County history, 450 law enforcement officers from 12 agencies this morning dismantled a crack cocaine distribution ring that has been terrorizing residents in the Heart of Boynton neighborhoods for decades.
Sparked by information from residents to members of the Boynton Beach Police Department's Community Action Team, the year-and-a-half long investigation culminated today with more than eight dozen federal and state arrest warrants for conspiracy to distribute powder and crack cocaine, distribution of powder and crack cocaine, and sale of cocaine.
"This operation is community policing at its best, illustrating that it results in the police becoming a resource for citizens to initiate positive change in their neighborhood," Boynton Beach Police Chief Matt Immler said. "Although we have no illusions that we have rid the city of narcotics and its associated problems, we have made a significant leap forward in our crime fighting efforts by partnering with our citizens to improve the quality of life for those residing in the Heart of Boynton."
