Limited Drug Citations in Penn-North Despite Notorious Open-Air Market

The Penn-North area of Baltimore, often characterized by its reputation as an open-air drug market, has surprisingly recorded a minimal number of drug citations in recent months.

Local law enforcement agencies have acknowledged the challenges posed by the ongoing drug activity in this neighborhood, yet the number of citations issued remains low.

Community members have expressed concerns regarding the visibility of drug transactions in the area, which has led to questions about policing effectiveness and community safety.

While the presence of illegal drug trade is evident, the response from law enforcement has not matched the community's expectations for action.
