Federal agents chased after 28 suspected drug dealers on Thursday in a massive takedown aimed at cleaning up LA’s filthy Skid Row. Dozens of FBI agents and cops conducted two raids, with one targeting alleged distributors of fentanyl, meth, cocaine and PCP at their homes, followed by a midmorning sweep of Skid Row that netted a number of street pushers. Investigators seized dope, guns and luxury cars, making numerous arrests in cases that detailed the slippery tactics used by drug peddlers in the sale of deadly drugs, such as using disguises, storefronts and sidewalk tents to hide the activity from police.
