FOUR ARRESTED ON DRUG CHARGES IN CITY'S NORTHWEST

Police said the arrests did not stem from an organized sweep, but rather from police officers who saw suspicious activity as they patrolled the area.

Among those arrested were a 15-year-old boy who was seen dropping a package of crack onto a garbage can as police patrolled the Lincoln Terrace housing project, a New York man charged with possessing a large amount of crack at Fifth Street and Harrison Avenue, and two 18-year-olds who were chased from Harrison Avenue to Lincoln Terrace before being arrested on cocaine charges and traffic violations.
