LAROSE — Deputies arrested five people and were looking for two others on cocaine distribution counts after an undercover sting in the “Two-Three” area of Larose, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office reported.
Members of the sheriff’s drug task force put two locations on East 23rd Street in Larose under surveillance after deputies received complaints of illegal drug activity, deputies said in a statement Tuesday.
Agents then made undercover buys at residences in the area also known as the “Two-Three” and then did a warrant sweep Thursday night, deputies said Tuesday.
Buys made at 372 E. 23rd St., Larose, led to the arrests of three people on crack cocaine distribution or cocaine base manufacturing counts and seizure of crack, $2,800 and a vehicle, deputies said.
Buys made at 467 E. 23rd St., Larose, led to the arrest of two on crack distribution and drug possession counts and the seizure of 3.2 grams of crack, 5 grams of marijuana, five tabs of Hydrocodone and more than $300, deputies said.
Richard J. Dillion, 56, 255 E. 23rd St., Larose; and Fredrick Moten, 24, 424 E. 23rd St., Larose, are wanted for prosecution on counts of distribution of crack cocaine, deputies said.
