New Castle County police and federal agents conducted a crime sweep early this morning at Lexington Green apartments in Bear, where officers rounded up 10 suspects, some whom were sleeping, and led them handcuffed into a waiting van.

Two of the suspects were women targeted by agents from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for misusing their Section 8 housing vouchers, which pay a portion of rent.

Voucher holders must complete yearly certification that require them to list everyone living in the household and the total income. Convicted drug dealers, sex offenders and violent felons cannot receive the vouchers.

A five-month investigation revealed the two women were allowing men to live with them who had been arrested recently on drug and weapons offenses. The women would have been ineligible for the vouchers had they listed the men on the certifying documents, officials said.

Years ago I use to live in the Hunt Club Townhouses in Princeton Woods and I LOVED it back there. Before living there I lived at the Village of Canterbury Apartments and use to enjoy going to Deer's Market and the Movie rental place next to what was then the Soft Rock Cafe. Then came Lexington Green.....

After a couple of years after the Lexington Green folks settled in I decided it was time to move.

I am not going to put down the place but I am going to say that things were not the same once that apartment complex came to the area.

I think Ang makes the point, here.

This is nothing but welfare folk doing welfare shiat. No more, no less.


-Not a knock on anyone who's ever needed assistance. A knock on those who use assistance as a subsidy for crime.
