Early this Saturday about 11:15 am, while taking a walk, I spotted two individuals loitering between bike path at Oxford Basin and Oxford Triangle wall. The wall is the border between the City and County.

I discretely watched both subjects prepare heroin and shoot it into their arms with syringes. Knowing the goings on of BFMV (burglary from motor vehicle) and residential burglaries in the Oxford Triangle, as well as the bona-fide link between drug users and crime, I called and directed LAPD officers to the subjects. By then they had made their way to the Del Taco on Lincoln Blvd near Washington Blvd.

LAPD detained and ultimately arrested the two for possession. The guy in the orange shirt tried to run and ultimately discarded tar heroin and syringes from his backpack while being pursued by the officer. The orange shirt guy also spit out a baggie of tar heroin from his mouth upon arrest, which was also recovered. I found out that the guy in the black shirt is on probation for robbery. Officers also found burglary tools (e.g., screwdrivers, etc.) in their backpacks.
