A 51-year-old man was arrested in Vancouver on Thursday, the day after he parked a trailer downtown and began selling cocaine, crack, methamphetamines, and heroin with all the nonchalance of a food truck vendor slinging hot dogs.
Police refused to identify the suspect, but Canadian media immediately deduced it was none other than Jerry Martin, the entrepreneur whoAnother clue that Martin was the perpetrator is that he announced the exact day and time he planned to open for business in Vancouver andof his mobile store — a little black shed with plexiglass windows and wheels designed to be towed by an SUV.
In addition to the plexiglass windows and bank-style secure transfer trays he installed to protect his merchandise, Martin wore a bulletproof vest while manning the store. At the time of his arrest, Martin’s mobile store had attracted dozens of customers, even though his menu price of $90 for a gram of cocaine was a bit high for the Vancouver market. Martin’s prices reflected the cost of having his supply checked for purity by a well-known local testing facility.
“Just for someone buying their drugs, this is a lot safer. People have to go through many things to get their drugs – you could get robbed in an alley and many women get abused,” hewhen his little store rolled up to a downtown Vancouver intersection and opened its stab-proof windows for business. Martin said in January he planned to go into business as soon as British Columbia, which legalized recreational marijuana in 2019, implemented a policy to decriminalize small amounts of most other illegal drugs. B.C. police were already tacitly allowing the consumption of these drugs by refusing to arrest offenders.
