At least that's what some residents in the west end discovered after they asked police to rid the area of blatant gang and drug activity. In response to the public outcry, police arrested 18 people on more than 70 drug charges in a sweep dubbed Project ROGUE (Reducing Organized Gangs Using Enforcement). In the past two weeks undercover police officers have seized cocaine, crack, pot and hashish estimated to be worth almost $14,000 on the street from alleged "street-level dealers," Det.-Sgt. Jim Qualtrough said. "We got calls from the public asking for help and in response we saturated the area with undercover officers and were easily able to find who we were looking for," he said. The targeted areas were in two police divisions, stretching from Islington Ave. and Lake Shore Blvd. W. to the Jane St. and Sheppard and Finch Aves. area.
