It's been a quite night for crime in Greater Lowell (knock on wood), but I went out to Lincoln Street earlier tonight because I thought city's Response Unit (aka Gang Unit) might be on the verge of a big drug bust.

They pulled over a guy with a lot of prior drug arrests driving a black Lincoln, according to police radio broadcasts. He had a couple burnt roaches in the car, and, low and behold, roughly $9,000 in cash, from what I heard.

A few roaches are just a fine these days, but based on the guy's record, all the cash, and the roaches, police called in a state police canine and gave the car a good once over.

You can see a bit of the dog working here.

Despite everything, the car turned up clean according to the pooch, though, and police had to set the driver free.

Even on the slow night they're out there working, though.

Plus, it's tough to complain about a slow night when you're in my line of work.
