On Aug. 18 federal agents arrested five people on drug charges stemming from a federal indictment. One of those arrests took place at 4:45 a.m. in the 200 block of South Second Avenue in West Reading. Borough police assisted Reading police, Berks County Sheriff’s deputies and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the arrest of two people.
A grand jury indicted six people as part of the “222 Corridor Anti-Gang Initiative,” a federally funded program intended to break up gangs from York to Easton, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. All five of the suspects arrested face charges of selling crack in Reading. The news release says all six suspects live in Reading, but the two arrested on South Second Avenue are West Reading residents, according to borough police. One suspect, Manuel Cook, was not arrested and remains at large.
