Metro Police Officer Attempts to Discourage Home Buyers in Salemtown

A Salemtown resident reported at tonight's neighborhood association meeting that some potential buyers told her that, when were waiting for her to show her townhouse, a passing Metro police officer suggested they might not want to live here. Police attending the SNNA meeting responded that the department does not condone officers attempting to depress the hyper-local housing market while on duty. They also said that they would pass on their disappointment to the Central Precinct.
