Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Public Work's Call Center regarding this matter. However, for drug related issues please contact the Oakland Police Department Drug Hotline at (510) 238-3784.

Thank you.

It is true that there is a proliferation of drug selling on the Weld Street block but it is done at the apartment complex 7445, 7447, and 7449. Stan, Hewy, Kim, and Skee are the main people that hang around this area because the tenants of the apartments complex supports them and allows them to sell drugs on the alley between 7447 and 7449.

To make matters worse the owner of the building of 7447 and 7449 has given them permission to sell drugs. His name is Omar.

The other house where they hide the drugs in 7506.

There is also a lot of activity at the 7509 Weld Street house. A lot of young males go in and out with back packs. They each bring one in and then leave without them. Later other people come and pick up the backpacks.

In this case, the drug hotline number should be called. When this happened in my area, I was informed by an officer to call that number daily for immediate attention. It worked!!! So all of you start calling the number daily. It's a recorded message telling you to leave as much info as possible.
