ANAHEIM — Undercover investigators posing as rock cocaine dealers arrested 22 people including four on active parole, all on suspicion of soliciting narcotics, authorities said Friday.
After receiving many complaints from local residents, undercover officers targeted the area of Haster Street and Wakefield Avenue, near the Santa Ana Freeway, where they believe people come from throughout the county to buy rock cocaine, police said.
Those arrested in the Thursday sting were booked into the Anaheim Police Detention Facility, and several vehicles were impounded, said Sgt. Ronald Lovejoy.
