At least one of these criminals - James Fields - was arrested just 3 months ago at the beginning of February. So if they get out of jail so quickly, what's the point of arresting them? Just to have a big press release and make it look like our neighborhoods are getting cleaned up when they really aren't?

How many of the 81 people arrested in this drug bust last March are still in prison? http://www.nj.com/jjournal-news/index ... y_police_arrest_81_p.html How about all those people arrested in the half-dozen or so drug busts that took place within a few months of when Fulop took office?

How has this not happened yet at the "open air drug market" bodega on Newark Ave and Barrow?? There's no reason anyone would be driving their car to run into that bodega at random hours of the night. It's so obvious! I have no idea how that place hasn't been busted yet.

i'd forgotten about the one on Newark, that's got the dunkin donuts in it, behind the car wash and edge wrestling, yea?

I had zero clue about the one on 3rd & Jackson tho. All these years and I had no idea. Street View on google makes me think i'm not really missing anything.

interesting, i see that one person has ben charged with intent to sell to an undercover police officer. i think it is fair to charge the drug dealer with an attempt to sell to an individual, but there should be no extra penalty for attempting to sell to an undercover police officer since the drug dealer did not know or intend to sell to an undercover officer

Jersey City-In the months leading up to Friday's massive raid, police officers posed as drug-hungry customers to bust dealers outside a Hoboken strip mall, according to court documents.

Thirteen of the 18 people arrested in connection with the open air drug market appeared in Central Judicial Processing court on Monday, mostly via video from the Hudson County jail in Kearny. The men are accused of selling drugs?a mix of heroin, crack cocaine and marijuana?near a strip mall in Hoboken, a spot city police say has operated as an undisguised drug market.

Criminal complaints against the 13 men show that many of them sold drugs to undercover police officers multiple times in the area in the past three months. Many of the sales happened near city schools, the Hoboken Housing Authority and the NJ Transit Light Rail?places where selling or possessing drugs means extra criminal charges.

For example, Raymond Latimer, 26, of Hoboken, is accused of having 38 bags of heroin when he was arrested on May 8 near the Thomas G. Connors Elementary School, according to court documents. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia for a Starburst candy wrapper that he allegedly used to hide the heroin.

Authorities raided the West Side Plaza on Friday, following a two-month investigation into the drug market. Businesses in the strip mall and residents had complained to police about illegal activity in the area, Hoboken police Chief Kenneth Ferrante said.

Police arrested 14 people on Friday afternoon and one man on Wednesday in connection with the drug sales, he said. Three more men were arrested Friday evening near the Hoboken Housing Authority in connection with drug sales outside the strip mall, Ferrante said.

The following 13 arrestees appeared in court on Monday:
