- A home considered to be a hotspot for crime in Tacoma shut down after a five-month-long, multi-agency investigation.
The Puget Sound Auto Theft Task Force, Tacoma Police Department’s Community Policing Unit, and the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department’s Civil Unit boarded up the property on the 300 block of S. 90th St Ct in Tacoma last week.
The home has been a hotspot for drive-by shootings and stolen vehicles. People who live nearby are starting to feel some relief.
“They got it done, I’m so happy,” said Raymond Fletcher, who lived next door.
Fletcher got back some peace of mind after authorities shut the place down on March 22.

Wow police actually shut something down before the people had to band together and do it themselves like in 1989?
Why don't you talk to the company that owns the property? Looks like this property was sold in 2021 to a REIT based in Chicago but has LLC branches in several states. I learned this in just a few minutes, its all public info online. I wouldn't be surprised if they have problem homes like this across the country.
Making yourself a target my brother. Prayers up. 🙏
It takes 50 complaints to shut down a drug house? You would think 9 or 10 complaints would be enough.
I live about 3 miles from this place but. If it happened next door to me I might have to get out my shotgun sooner, rather than later. The police need to realize this.
Yes if course the first response to think about is murder.
You start a gun war with these people, you will lose. They out gun you. They don't have jobs so they have more time than you. They have more people and can get you any of 24 hours. No, starting that kind of war, you can not win.
@@karlabritfeld7104 Isn't that what about happened to the guy and his wife while they were sleeping in their bed?
Did you watch the video?
@@karlabritfeld7104 Not at all Karla.
It would be my last resort. If after 9 or 10 or 20 complaints the situation wasn't dealt with drastic measures would be taken.
All the complaints would be on record. All the videos of drug transactions would be on record. EVERYTHING before the shotgun would be recorded by myself and delivered to Law enforcement.
When nothing was fixed I would pull out the shotgun and deal with it.
I would 100% get jail time but, you gotta do what you gotta do to protect yourself and others.
Didn't know you could shut down a house.
I’m so glad the people at that house are gone. Places like this destroy the sanctity and peace of an entire neighborhood.
Wow right down the street from my old house.
Tacoma is my home even tho I don't live there anymore. I'm so glad they did this!
Yeah, Tacoma made homelessness illegal and now they moved to the weigh station on 224th and Mountain Highway. Removed cement barriers. Now last night my good friend’s business right down the street was broken into this morning. I did warn them about this new encampment. This is all BS. Why are we even paying any tax anymore? We get no services.
My friend texted me the pictures of the break in. He said he isn’t reporting it bc nothing will be done. This was his apartment area where he lives they broke into! Thank god he is ok.
@@dashcamvideos6742 agreed. I'm not actually blindly anti taxation. The issue fundamental to this country isn't that taxes are theft, it's that non-optional taxation without representation IS.
if you don't care at all about social security benefits coming to you, you should be allowed to opt out. You should be allowed to opt out of any tax and just not reap the benefits if it were a possibility.
However they're forcefully taking higher and higher numbers, ans no one wants to be the martyr who starts rocking the boat, all while the "representatives" are beholden to private interest lobbyists.
It needs to start with making lobbyism illegal. Funny you rarely if ever hear that being proposed. Even term limits, people still blindly vote party lines for those who are against term limits, or say they're for it then vote against it.
This country needs a good kick in th3 ass to snap people out of it
@@oldkingcrow777 I am not talking about tax at the federal level. I am talking about state tax. We get no services out here. If we call the cops they do not show up.
if you stop paying taxes and they come after you, tell them to tax Amazon properly.
glad this ending looks positive. hopefully the building doesn't get squatters or continued drive bys
Cops always 'take their time' when you need help, but if someone calls them on you, they show up guns drawn, swearing at you to get hands up.. and when you reach for your ID.... BAMM 7 Shots in the head...
The police allowed this for far far far to long. The cops I bet were forced to actually do their jobs. Takes them forever to show up to any emergency call
This is happening because we are not voting for the people who will take a hard line approach to solving these problems. Most of the guns these hoodlums play with are illegally passed around. They are funneled into neighborhoods by only a small number of dealers and then bought by straw buyers. But gun manufacturers have purchased most of our politicians, and they won't pass legislation that give the police and courts the meat they need to curb this.
Ever heard of democrats in Olympia passing ridiculous legislation that basically harms regular old citizens in the end?
@@OldSchooled dumpycraps always pass laws that puts money in their pockets they hate regular people
Yhe joke is that if thr citizens had enough and banded together for some old school RIGHTEOUS mob justice, the cops would be there in 5 minutes to arrest the vigilantes.
It's obviously not always as simple as the red/blue BS, but from what I've witnessed living in various polar opposite states, there seems to be some correlation between the self righteous hypocritical blue states and citizens living in fear.
They keep voting for and espousing this crap though I guess you get what you get.
It's such a fuxking shame that GOOD people end up bowing and capitulate to the bad ones. This man radiates peace, and since we live in a place where (for better or worse) we can't legally solve our own problems, we wait and suffer and fear leaving the house while the cops take their time, often sadly too late.
It's seriously a shame. I totally understand that we can't have every moron going and acting out vigilantism which may or may not be justified, but if an entire neighborhood is essentially being held hostage, it bothers me deeply that we lack the rights to band together and handle the problem ourselves. You can, of course, but then YOU'LL get swiftly punished. Funny how someone can be terrorizing an area, cops don't show for months or years. You guys group up and vanquish that monster, cops are there in 5 minutes to arrest you 😅🤦♂️
On a side note, as a straight man, that cop is gorgeous and in the wrong industry 😂😂😂
okay, now KEEP them in jail, please.
I live down the street from here, and I find it funny how the news failed to mention that those people were drug addicts who broke into that hone and squatted, broke into our vehicles, or stole water from houses. Report the whole story next time.
Well, one look at that house and it kinda screams, "TRAP HOUSE-Open 24/7" .
I'm sorry you had horrible encounters with these people. And you all got lucky with a 5 month investigation...some take over a year, maybe more. Glad you got your neighborhood back too...
glad no one died before they did something
Why did this take months to shut down🤦🏾
Please don't de-fund the police. We need them.
Whats the address does anybody know?
This is happening all over Washington, couple of bad houses around my area were shut down aswell, atleast our state government can do something right
Editors?? "monthlong" IS NOT A WORD.
It's about time that it has been shut down hopefully for good
😢
Is monthslong all one word?
That's right, cops. Take your time, no rush.
These people are animals. So glad I moved into the rural country side where the only animals I worry about anymore are hawks and foxes getting my chickens.
Stop being a coward and help the police with evidence.
I don't live in rural and have no crime. It's called Gilbert AZ.
@@kevindiaz3599 Stop being a fool and realize the cops dont want civilian help with evidence. Give them reports, Lic plate numbers etc and still nothing gets done. I moved out of tacoma for s oregon woods due to gang action. Easier to move than deal with the law after you shoot a couple of thieves. That is common sense, not being a coward.
The way things are rolling socially, you cannot be sure if rural living is better. They have the same problems in rural Pierce County, particularly around Roy Y and Spanaway. Maybe further southe from Roy Y.
@Kevin Diaz Who is being a coward?
I wish a certain HOTSPOT near me would disappear...or some such...
Getting tired of all the gunshots...
It's like getting rid of Roaches in your home
Why wait months? Take care of the problem when it first starts
Always keep an eye out for the Sun 🌞 People
You know if someone lived there and cut the grass kept it nice. They could have lived there for awhile and been in a house safe and warm.
People be neighborly!
I had a neighbor who was dealing drugs from his home 5 days a week, Monday- Friday. Kept quiet, kept his nose clean. Everyone in the neighborhood knew he was dealing drugs but as long as he didn't raise a ruckus, things were fine.
@@karlabritfeld7104 exactly! I have seen some houses with way too much traffic and wondered why have so many people coming and going from their front door.
It’s not the Homes fault, it’s the democrats.
For now dude
It's best to call the police in the past I've seen people get shot in the face for trying to play hero.
This ain't the day & time you can just go talk to people.. because people don't have sound minds anymore people just aren't nice and sometimes you can't compromise..you can lose your life and your just trying to reason or ask questions it ain't worth call the cops do it legally video Camara and everything you can..one guy shot wound and a misunderstanding can take your life or cripple you or endanger your whole family especially when u live in the same neighborhood as where the trouble is..I sold my home in spanaway when the wrong person moved my friend her husband was a pierce county sheriff they lived next door they sold they house to we both moved and even the military family..
idk had I been in that neighborhood I think that house might have had an unfortunate accident and ended up in ashes
How to prevent this? Do not live in subdivisions where there is gang activity! Buy a gun!
Whew that cop 🥵
we as a country can't shut down one's home b/c a neighbor doesn't like a particular person. The home owner was probably given numerous warnings b/f they went in.
It's not about "disliking" somebody. It's called criminal activity. Did you watch the whole video? Guy and his wife almost got shot while sleeping
Dont know what country your in, but here in America we can shut down trap houses...
Stop being racist against the peaceful joggers...
Then the police further trash the house by drilling holes in the siding and doing a serious hack job boarding up the windows. Nice for the rest of the neighborhood to look at it and depreciate the neighborhood. Oh! and imagine someone trying to sell a house nearby after seeing the said hack job, lol. Why not just leave it alone and if you are worried about squatters or drugs etc returning then DO YOUR POLICING JOB like the taxpayers require you to do.
You must be a democrat
Better that than have them come back or an invitation for others to come and squat. It's up to the owners to deal with it through code enforcement division of the building department.
They need to make the property owners or managers more accountable for allowing this kind of vermin to move in.
The entire West Coast is a pit.
It doesn't matter ,criminals will just up shop at another location. Maybe enforcement of criminal law and locking up the problem would help. Hey it is the voters choice anyway. Great job voters 👏
Toilet
House ain't do nuttin. It's a good house, goes to church and sheet. Uall juss don't like it cause it's not the same color as your house.
OK so now the next step is to sit down Tacoma. It's gotten plenty of calls. Lol
