Fifteen people were arrested in Compton for allegedly trying to sell drugs to an undercover policewoman who was dressed as a chauffeur and driving a white stretch limousine. Authorities said the undercover officer cruised through known drug-dealing areas and “inquired about purchasing various types of drugs.” Six or seven uniformed policemen who were hidden behind the limousine’s tinted windows jumped out and arrested suspects each time a drug sale was made, police said. Those arrested were booked for investigation of possession and sale of cocaine and PCP.
