Police Chief Bob Smythe is giving the citizens of Darby Borough a gift today.
Actually two of them.
Early this morning Smythe led a small army of borough police and federal law enforcement authorities on a massive series of raids targeting drug-dealing in the borough.
The raids appear to be targeting the drug-infested Third Street area of the borough.
The feds have search warrants for dozens of homes. Lawmen fanned out around 4 a.m. in the borough and will be taking down suspects most of the morning.
Then, right around noon, Smythe is going to provide the finishing touch.
The chief says he’s going to set up barbecues right in the middle of Third Street and serve lunch to residents.
“This is about taking back the neighborhood,” Smythe told me.
Nice work.
