A string of arrests were made in Phoenix’s largest homeless encampment, “The Zone,” on Tuesday.
Phoenix Police Lieutenant David Seitter said it’s a targeted effort to “root out the main offenders” victimizing people living in the encampment.
“So the main things we’re looking for, as the individuals that are bringing the largest quantities of drugs down here, and are the basically the single points for failure,” Seitter said.
Seitter’s primary concerns? Homicides, fentanyl deaths, fentanyl sales and gun sales.
He said police have been working for several weeks doing “targeted enforcement” and “undercover operations” to catch “key individuals.”
The result of that work was 10 arrests across three search warrants served to “temporary structures” near 9th Avenue and Madison Street.
