Councilmember Gallo says police will be enhancing patrols around the school and the FBI will be installing additional surveillance cameras. A meeting is also in the works to discuss a new enforcement plan.
According to City Councilmember Noelle Gallo, some of the women working along E. 15th St. are brought in from out of state.
"In the evenings you'll see a van come up and unload the girls and these are vans that are not from Oakland," Gallo said."When I was out on the street with police on a ride along, I saw the van pull up and I saw license plates from Nevada. They were being brought up from outside Nevada... I saw five, six girls get out of the van," said Gallo.Gallo says the vans typically have out-of-state license plates. They arrive early in the morning and leave late in the evening.
"Eight o'clock in the evening, I saw them all get back into the van, drive on, and we followed them and they went on the freeway and went on," said Gallo. Gallo says the Oakland Police Dept. will be enhancing patrols around the school and the FBI will be installing additional surveillance cameras. The two agencies uncovered operations in the area last week.
"In many large cities you have places that's called the stroll or the walk, this is where the transaction is taking place," said Robert Tripp, the special agent in charge for the FBI's San Francisco division.
