Drug drive through still operating?
A resident claims the drive through drug hub is still operation.
Residents and business owners believe a storage space building situated in Lewisham is merely posing as a shop front and that it actually being used as a drive through drug hub.
Since the building was repainted and somewhat restored it would seem that the highway of drug trafficking has stopped at this alleged drug hub.
But residents seem to disagree and confirmed that there is indeed still drug traffic in the area.
According to numerous eyewitnesses, drug users would simply enter through one gate situated at the side and foreign nationals would run towards the buyers’ vehicles to make a drug sale.
“It was open for business 24/7,” says a resident in the area who would like to remain anonymous as he is well-known.
Although the traffic has decreased ever since the revamp of the building, he confirms that he constantly sees how drug deals are being made in the parking lot around the building in broad daylight.
A herbal doctor has since also opened their doors with their services being advertised on the wall outside the building.
The drugs are being bought by old and young right through the week and pick ups over the weekends.
The concerned resident tells how he recalls police patrolling around the building while customers are inside and then simply turns a blind eye.
Customers of the popular motor vehicle spares shop across from the building are also constantly being harassed by the drug scavengers who eagerly await the arrival of new customers.
Nowadays the alleged drug dealers hang out on the corner of the building and can easily be approached for a fix.
Along with the illegal drug trading the resident claims that a handful of prostitutes are also operating from the rooms in the building.
The News contacted the number that has been painted on the building. When phoning, it takes you directly to a voice mail service.
The News will be following up on the matter and is awaiting official police comment.
