SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Local, state and federal law enforcement officials say they have busted a “high level heroin trafficking organization” in western Massachusetts.
The Hampden district attorney said in a statement Tuesday that police seized 6 kilograms of heroin and arrested 10 people during the execution of several simultaneous raids.
The 6 kilograms of heroin would conservatively yield more than 450,000 bags of heroin on the street.
In addition, police seized 4,500 ready-for-sale bags of heroin, six guns and four motor vehicles.
Authorities are scheduled to discuss details of the case later Tuesday during a news conference at U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration offices in Springfield.
