\"Herkimer<\/a>
Herkimer Syke’s gang head Stanley Sykes, AKA Bob Sykes, greets arriving out-of-town drug mule before taking him on to his next destination. Looks like the Syke\u2019s gang\u2019s running the Herkimer’s way station of a large backpack narcotics distribution network designed to foil aerial observation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We understand why the criminals who believe they own the Village of Herkimer want us dead.:Our blog and street cameras have helped lessen drug trafficking along Herkimer’s notorious Pleasant Avenue<\/a>. We’ve pinpointed trafficking and traffickers, arsonists and wanna-be arsonists.<\/a> We’ve disposed of several street harassers and gotten a few folks locked up who thought it ok to assault seniors in the street.<\/p>\n

We pride ourselves on having helped spark Herkimer’s current home sales boom–drawing national attention to the village’s ideal location<\/a> and surrounding beauty in a time of climate change. The tragedy of Houston will send many folks north seeking improved climate safety.<\/p>\n

Of course Herkimer’s shrinking criminal population hates us. They’ve long considered Herkimer a safe haven and Pleasant Avenue their own. Especially the parking lot and houses owned by landlord Jay Smith. 334 Pleasant Avenue and 341 Eureka Avenue, currently occupied by the Stanley Sykes gang,<\/a> have a long tradition as a clandestine trafficking haven. The Sykes gang feels menaced by the prosperity creeping toward them down Pleasant Avenue including the major home renovation make overs at 331 and 328 Pleasant Ave. Al Murray’s garbage strewn lot has been purchased by a neighbor and now features grass, not trash. Pleasant Avenue is experiencing a return to its former state of quiet village charm.<\/p>\n

From what we’ve seen, the Sykes gang tried wholesale trafficking out of the parking lot and 334 Pleasant Avenue in the traditional way, with vehicles. Guess that didn’t go well. Too obvious. Surveillance drones can quickly determine drug trafficking patterns and traffickers. Most people don’t want to see a return to the wild days on Pleasant Avenue when Joyce Barton was undisputed queen of the  street’s bustling trafficking.<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of Herkimer’s Sykes Gang’s Drug Delivery Vehicles<\/h2>\n

Two of the vehicles typically used by Herkimer’s Sykes gang to traffic out of Carrie Ann Bass’ rented house at 334 Pleasant Avenue Herkimer. (As with all Sykes gang rentals, a Jay Smith property.) Carrie Ann is allegedly Sykes’ daughter-in-law.<\/p>\n

Stanley Sykes’ Gang Niche Drug Market: Backpack Drug Muling<\/h2>\n

Stanley Sykes, AKA Bob Sykes, may have found a niche market: backpack drug distribution. Backpacks have long been used to move narcotics around Herkimer. But it seems the Sykes gang has become a franchisee within a large network that mules narcotics on backs from town to town. Hard to spot and follow from surveillance drones. Stanley’s been doing a brisk business, building a backpack empire:<\/p>\n
