DOVER — Investigation into alleged gang, drug, and gun activity in the Capital Green development led to 11 arrests late Thursday morning, Dover police said.

According to authorities, an investigation that began in May determined that Bloods street gang members were allegedly dealing drugs and stashing firearms at several residences in Capital Green.

A police news release listed locations of alleged offenses at 408 New Castle Avenue, 467 New Castle Avenue, and 419 East Water Street.

At approximately 11:35 a.m., a multi-police agency operation executed three search warrants as the Dover Police Probation and Parole Safe Streets team made multiple probation and fugitive status checks, spokesman Cpl. Mark Hoffman Also contributing to the operation were officers from the Delaware State Police, Milford and Smyrna police, Drug Enforcement Agency, Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireams, U,S, Marshall’s Task Force, and Delaware Probation and Parole, authorities said.

“The search warrants were conducted simultaneously to provide a tactical advantage to the officers,” Cpl. Hoffman said.

“One defendant resisted officers efforts to take him into custody and attempted to flush drugs down a toilet upon their entry.”

Added Cpl. Hoffman, “There’s always risks involved when executing search warrants such as these.

“However, we brought in officers from several agencies to ensure that the operation was conducted as safely as possible for the officers, the nearby residents, and the defendants themselves.

“We hold meetings ahead of time to plan and establish locations for officers, including perimeter units to ensure safety of others.”

The following items were seized, according to police:

• 171.1 grams of marijuana

• 50 bags (.9) grams of heroin

• 75.6 grams of PCP

• $1,196.00 cash (alleged drug proceeds)

• 12-gauge shotgun

• four handguns, including two reported stolen.

While police did not disclose how the investigation started, Cpl. Hoffman said authorities were aware that alleged Bloods members were operating in Dover.

“Yes, we have made arrests and gathered intelligence which indicated there were people who associated with the Bloods gang in the area,” Cpl. Hoffman said.

Local Bloods activity had been ongoing for awhile, Cpl. Hoffman said.

“This isn’t a new development, we have had people associated with the Bloods gang in Dover for some time,” Cpl. Hoffman said.

Authorities display firearms and cash seized in the Capital Green neighborhood.

“The concerns are the same as any other criminal street gang in that we want them off the streets to stop/prevent violent crimes and drug crimes from being committed.”

Cpl. Hoffman said Dover PD’s gang intelligence officer was unavailable, and the scope of gang activity within the city was not immediately available.

Cpl. Hoffman said the large scale of arrests was significant.

“Obviously, we are very pleased with this operation and its success,” he said. “Eleven arrests were made, five guns were taken off the streets (including two stolen), and a large volume of drugs and drug proceeds were seized as a result of this operation.”
