Complaints from neighbors like Earline Kellog prompted the Crime Supression.

On this Friday, it's suspected prostitution that first catches Officer Lloyd's attention.

Undercover officers spot this woman flagging down cars on the street.

Officer Lloyd, :She had a couple of possible warrants on her which they didn't verify gave her a stern warning told her to go about her way and not be walking the streets. "

This is the fourth crime suppression conducted in Chattanooga since March and the second in Sector two.

Captain Vivian Hixson, Sector Two Commander, "We had well over 100 people arrested thousands of dollars worth of drugs and stolen property recovered some vehicles recovered each one of them is a great success.

Earline Kellog feels the same.

Earline, Kellog, "They're patrolling more and that's a good thing. They're patrolling more and they're picking up more."

Officers will be on the streets until the early hours of the morning.

Besides the arrests, officers also helped neighborhood services to padlock the Rainbow Tanning and Internet café for numerous code violations.
