we've noticed a recent development on Eld St, with regular 2-car drug deals happening in the late afternoon. Two cars arrive quickly, park, do their transaction, and then swiftly leave.
It's happening pretty much every other day, between 4-5 pm, outside the Worthington Hooker school entrance at the State St end of the road.
The dealing car is a small 4-door black car, Subaru or Hyundai, with (stolen) CT plates, 968 PEF.
I wondered if you had noticed similar behaviour on your streets as well? If so, Lt Sweeney recommends NO contact with the vehicle, and suggests calling the Police Non-Emergency number -- although frankly by the time I get through, they're usually long gone. The NHPD is keen to get a better description of the car, in any case. Information can also be sent directly to John Velleca, head of Narcotics, at jvelleca@newhavenct.net
Apparently this is the latest style and is happening all over the city -- although in broad daylight, outside a school when the kids are sometimes still being picked up?? Eld St,New Haven,CT 06511

These guys are regular as clockwork. They were here at 4.05 pm yesterday afternoon, slightly earlier at 3.43pm today. Shouldn't be that hard to catch them in the act!
It was the same vehicle as usual - small black 4 door, CT plates 968 PEF. Today's customers were in a dark gold SUV, and a red pick-up with cardboard boxes in the back.
They left in a tire-squealing hurry -- this is a street-calming issue as well as a drug traffic one.
Just compared notes with our neighbors: it seems there are two dealers using the street. They've noticed a silver-blue Honda Accord, young white male driver, making deals around the same time of day.
The driver of the black car is a 20-something Hispanic man with a goatee, a very round face, and a diamond earring in his left ear.
This just in from the New Haven Police Department:
See-PRESS RELEASE-
NEW HAVEN POLICE WORK CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY TO ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL NARCOTICS STING OPERATION
NEW HAVEN- Today, members of the New Haven Police Department Tactical Narcotics Unit conducted an investigation into street level drug dealing in the Eld Street area of the city. Eld Street residents were instrumental in the investigation by keenly observing suspicious activity in their neighborhood and promptly reporting their observations to the police via the website SeeClickFix.com. Armed with the information received from Eld Street residents TNU detectives conducted surveillance, and a subsequent "sting" operation in the aforementioned area. At 2:31 pm, at the corner of Orange Street and Eld Street, detectives interrupted a street level heroin transaction. TNU detectives arrested both the alleged dealer Nelson Garcia (DOB 11/30/78) of 154 Canal St. and the buyer, Joseph Mazzucco (DOB 2/17/74) of 60 Rock Rd., North Haven.
Detectives seized ten (10) packets of heroin from Mazzucco. Subsequently, Mazzucco was arrested for Possession of Narcotics, Possession within 1500 feet of a school, Possession of drug paraphernalia, Operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, and Failure to obey a traffic signal. Detectives seized $1,060.00 from Garcia, as well as a 2010 Toyota Camry, and charged him with Sale of Narcotics. Both were remanded to the Union Avenue detention facility.
