A series of posters have been taped to poles and trees along Wall Street in east Vancouver warning a person to stop selling marijuana to school-age kids in the area.

The posters along Wall Street up to where it intersects at Dundas Street were put up about two days ago, say area residents.

“People have been talking about the posters,” said one resident with a young child, who did not want her name used.                                                                 

“I have no idea who put the posters up,” added the woman who lives in the 2200-block Wall Street.

She said it is shocking to hear that young children are possibly being exposed to people selling drugs along the busy street. “I didn’t know it was that bad along here.”

Another resident who did not want to be named said the street is no worse than most other low-income areas. “There is pot everywhere,” said the woman. “This street is no different.”

More than a dozen posters can be seen along Wall Street.

The poster said the drug dealing needs to stop.

“Stop selling weed to our young children,” reads the poster. “Our kids are becoming addicts.”

The poster indicates a cash reward will be given to people who provide tips that lead to an arrest.

The person behind the posters contacted The Province and said many of the teens in the area are down on Wall Street during school hours scoring pot.

“Some lady on Wall Street is selling pot to teenagers and that is our problem,” said the woman who called herself Louise. “I have had the police to my house to discuss the problem,” she added.

She said they will give the tipster $100 for information that leads to a conviction.Vancouver police were unavailable to comment on the situation.
