Police: Three heroin supply rings busted (http://www.idahostatesman.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050120/NEWS01/501200354)Boise police say a multi-agency drug raid Wednesday shut down three heroin supply rings in the Treasure Valley responsible for selling about 73 pounds of the drug a year to local addicts.

Nine people were arrested Wednesday and charged with drug trafficking as officers raided eight homes in Boise and one in Nampa on Wednesday morning — the culmination of a four-month investigation by the Boise BANDIT and Ada County Metro drug task forces. A tenth person, described as a supplier to at least two of the drug rings, was arrested at an undisclosed location outside Idaho, police said.

i wonder how much of a chip that really took out of the local action?

reinforcements are on the way! this is just another invitation for dealers to slip in and take care of business. complete with advertising .

well a total of 3.5oz of both h and cocaine recovered? is that really a dent?

[TravisCFS]

There's a big dent.

Pretty a much a 100% dent for anyone I know. Aside from small pockets brought in privately from other cities. Users probably think of that as "Black Wednesday".

i'm not so sure about it being as large of a dent as they'd like to say it is. i see there's more to this post in another location, so I'm going to respond over there: http://forum.opiophile.org/showthread.php?t=109

It scares me that so little can have such a big impact. Of course, it seems that some new job opportunities have just opened for someone if that much was sold by these guys in a year.
