Newark Sting

[RichieG23]

I know for a fact the state police sting in January used back page. And I'm going to guess newark PDF was trying to piggy back off that sting. Mu I am pleased to, read that only 6 guys got busted ou5 of 150 contacts. Would have to think that this site had a hand in that low number, which is why a good number of senior guys ask everyone to have each other's backs and relate your experiences. They truly do provide info for everyone to use.

Thrive you so right we need to help each other out. The one on 896 is the Roadway Inn stay away from that place period.

We all have to be diligent and be sure to share details. In the past, I understand the Red Roof Inn near the hospital and another one off 896 that has changed names quite a few times have been two locations used in Newark.

Be safe.

How do you know it was in fact a BP ad? From what I read and saw on television, the location of the ad was not disclosed. I wouldn't assume this is the source if it wasn't posted. I know another jurisdiction was previously working two sites. Be safe.
