WPD bust man with over 100 heroin bags

Its regular for deals to go down in parking lots. Anywhere that is convenient is suitable. That part of Market is definetly popping because of the cheap motels and proximity to the east side, in addition to the college crowd. It is important to note that the majority of heroin consumption in this area is done by a dedicated few hardcore addicts who support their addiction by turning others onto heroin, usually by presenting the option of snorting the drug in the powder form found inside of these bags because of it is less of a stretch for a first user to consider than shooting it. By the way, I would like to put some truths and numbers out here. These bags are called tickets or dpacks. The stamps are for marketing, however are unreliable because of cutting at various levels. Typically when you buy one of these bags it cost $20. When you get more, for example a bundle which is 10 bags, prices go down and range from $100 to $150 depending on who you know and often you come see them. Idealy, each of these bags contains a tenth of a gram, meaning that a bundle is a whole gram. Four grams is where possession or sale becomes trafficking meaning mandatory prison time(NC Laws, not federal.) Most of the powder heroin available in Wilmington is bought in bulk in New York ("UP Top" to the D-boys) and driven back for sale. From what I am told, the packaging and stamping usually is done in New York, where bags are purchased in bulk for as little as $2.50 and sold for much more. Just breaking down the Port City Dope game for you. =)
