Philadelphia police have arrested three men involved in a million-dollar LSD operation on the campus of Drexel University. According to officials, the men hid sheets of LSD in pieces of paper wit cartoon characters on them. The LSD operation brought in anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 a week. Police say the boys sold mainly to Drexel University students, charging $10 to $30 a hit. After raiding their Florence Street home, authorities seized 950 hits of LSD with a street value of about $28,000 and $10,000 in cash.
Drexel University released a statement about the arrests:
“Drexel University has a zero tolerance policy for any type of illegal activity and takes immediate disciplinary action, including criminal prosecution. Drexel University Police fully cooperated with the District Attorney’s Dangerous Drug Offender Unit, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and Philadelphia Police, resulting in the arrests of five people connected to an LSD ring operating in University City.
“Although two Drexel students were involved, the masterminds of the operation arrested today were not affiliated in any way with Drexel and operated out of a house on 48th Street, not on the Drexel campus.
“The University complies with all state and federal regulation in the dissemination of information. When Drexel is made aware of any students participating in illegal behavior, the University places them on indefinite suspension pending the outcome of the investigation by Philadelphia and Drexel police.”
