♦ Gunfire continues to be heard all over Salisbury especially in the evenings. Muggings, burglaries, vandalisms, stolen vehicles, car break-ins, armed and strong arm robberies, retail pilferage, and expensive vandalisms continue to plague Salisbury with little let up. People in some neighborhoods still fear being seen as snitches because of the gang presence in their locales. A key driver in much area crime continues to be Salisbury’s epidemic of heroin, meth, crack, and alcohol abuse.
Salisbury Police sources report that Billy Ray Allison, 62, living at 1620 N.
