Family members might be dealing drugs


Question Posted Friday July 26 2013, 3:21 pm

I suspect my cousin and brother(s) are selling drugs. My cousin who does not live with us runs in and out all the time and goes into my brother's room and leaves abruptly. This has been going on for months. Today as I was arriving home from the grocers, my cousin and a group of guys I have never seen before were standing outside. My cousin came up to me before I could get out of the car asking me if I had the key and saying that he has been trying to get in. Why would i not have a key? He then told the guys that he would be right back and entered the house with me. My mom is disabled and so am I, we live in subsidized housing and could be homeless if drugs are found in our house. We are afraid of my younger brothers and cousin. We ask them to leave but they wont. The apartment below us was raided and i am afraid if it happens to us I will just kill myself. We don't know what to do. We want the drugs out of our apartment! I am so frustrated that I am thinking of going to the police. My cousin was put in jail not long ago for drug possession so I know he is capable. I just have no proof other than my suspicions. Please help me, my mom and I have nothing, all we ave is a place to live and they are jeopardizing that. They only care about themselves and have no respect for anyone or anything. I want to talk to the police but I don't know what to say. I don't want me and my mom to go to jail or be homeless because of these idiots. My panic attacks are getting worse and i feel like i might become manic again from worrying about this. Please help me resolve this, hopefully with them all going to jail and being out of our lives.

Additional info, added Friday July 26 2013, 3:23 pm:
Do I need proof in order to go to the police?
If I have no proof will they raid our apartment, if they do that we will be evicted and kicked out of the subsidy program.

Do not call the police anonymously as that will result in a raid. You call the police, if need be away from home where your brother and cousins can overhear you. You tell the police you suspect but cannot prove your cousin and possibly your brother may be involved in drug dealing and are storing the drugs in your apartment. You tell them you have searched but cannot find the drugs. You tell them you are almost positive they are there and explain about your cousin running in and out of the apartment and prior arrest for possession.

Then you invite the police into your apartment to search for and remove the drugs from your home. They will find them as if need be they will bring a drug sniffing dog into the home to find what may be hidden under floors or in walls or ceilings.

If they do find drugs the police may ask for your cooperation in helping them make arrests for drug dealing. While I suggest you do, that would be up to you.

By inviting the police to come in and find the drugs, that they are not your drugs and you are not involved in the sale or distribution of the drugs. Should mean the difference between being evicted or not being evicted. The more cooperation you give the police the less I believe you would be evicted from your home.

The fact that the drugs were in your apartment without your consent. That you did everything legally possible to have them confiscated and removed are factors in your favor.

You should call anonymously and report you suspect drug dealing. You do not have to leave your name and address with them.

As far as his friends, Report them to the housing management. People would much rather have honesty then liars.

You need to tell the police, Tell them your situation and ask them to talk to your brother.
