Collingswood Man Arrested in Camden Drug Sweep

Anthony Calabrese, 26, of Collingswood was just one of 26 people arrested in a drug sweep targeting drug corners in North Camden this week, Camden County Police said.

Calabrese was charged with loitering to commit a controlled dangerous substance offense, a disorderly persons charge carrying the potential of a six-month jail sentence and a fine of up to $1,000.

Like previous stings targeting suburbanites—of which roughly 70 percent of the arrests were—the bust reinforced the notion held by authorities that buyers from outside the city are key to its problems.

“The suburban drug buyer continues to be the lifeblood of the city's open-air drug markets,” Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson said following one recent drug sting.

An even higher percentage of suburban buyers were arrested two weeks ago in a similar sweep—36 of 45 buyers in North Camden were from outside the city, police said.
