Chico Street Crimes Unit made multiple arrests and seized drugs during its first week active. Last week the Street Crimes D Unit focused on the East Avenue and Esplanade corridor along with the City Plaza and Depot Park areas. During their patrols officers made 14 arrests and seized several ounces of methamphetamine and Heroin.

According to Chico Police, the Street Crimes Unit is made up of officers who normally patrol the south campus area, but during the summer months their focus is redirected towards street level crime that effects the quality of life in Chico.
