Hello neighbors,

I wanted to alert you to some suspected drug activity near the community gardens on Stanton Ave. About two weeks ago, this same sequence of events noted below occurred. After it happened again tonight, I called the cops and spoke with Detective Smith in Narcotics, who urged me to relay all this information to the neighborhood.  I do believe it was the same people in both incidences.  I am fairly certain the license plate numbers are accurate, especially for Car #2.

Sequence of Events:
Car #1 pulled up in front of my house. Within a minute, Car #2 pulled up alongside it. Man #1 hopped out of Car #1 and into Car #2. They drove off, and within 30 seconds, Car #2 was already driving back towards Car #1. Man #1 hopped out and went back to his car. Car #2 slowly drove past my home, with the occupants returning my glares as I was already standing outside on my cell phone calling the cops. A second man was driving, and a woman was in the passenger seat. Car #1 then did a U-turn and drove off right past me.

Car descriptions:
Car #1--a newer maroon car, 4 door, PA License plate #HNV-7832
Car #2--another maroon car, an older model (likely early-mid 90s, perhaps a Corsica or a Toyota model?), PA License plate #HBD-9877

Physical Descriptions:
Man #1--Caucasian, 30s, approximately 6'0 tall, lanky build, and a nearly shaved head that had dark brown/black stubble growing on it.
Man #2--(I only got a look at the back of him) Black male, shoulder length dreads.
Woman #1--Caucasian, late 40s/early 50s, short whiteish hair that was spiked up

If what happened was not in any way illegal or I have mistakenly recalled the wrong license plate numbers, I do extend my sincerest apologies. I am trusting my instinct here, though, which tells me otherwise. Please be vigilant and keep a look out for suspicious activity. We have loved living in the Highland Park community and wish it to be as safe and vibrant as possible!

Thank you,
Alyssa Melby
