Turlock Area News 
1000 block of Linwood with tent in yard… How many houses in that block have a tent in the yard? Only one that I can think of and it’s not just one tent. It’s a homeless tent community with criminals coming and going all times of day and night, the neighbors can’t sleep because of the yelling at night, not to mention banging, hammering and crashing sounds. This place is known for dealing drugs, mainly fentanyl, of course you can find other drugs or illegal things to buy here. It’s hard for me to believe police only found one person to arrest at this location. What did they do wait and watch till they thought everyone was gone before moving in?
