Massive Police Raid in Wilmington

Don't worry, the 400 police and agents aren't wasting our tax dollars shutting down Wilmington's taco trucks, it's a gang raid. The gang targeted is the 75 member Eastside Pain, who are centered around an area affectionately known as "Ghost Town." About 30 or so arrests were made.

Anyone know where Ghost Town is or anything about the Eastside Pain? I'm not familiar with either of them.

Crazy Car Chase

Anyone hear anything about a weird high speed chase over at Berth 87 yesterday? I was over at Enterprise, picking up a rental van and I saw two black and white's chasing what looked like a white Honda civic around in circles and figure eights out on the dock. After they finally cornered the car, they tackled the hell out of the driver. I wasn't sure if they were goofing off or if it was a real incident, because I've seen the police having a lot of "slow day on the job" fun on the dock, racing their faux-Segways around and such.

Anyways, anybody hear anything about it?
