Three people, including a teenage boy, are facing charges after Boston police say a multi-jurisdictional investigation ended with the seizure of guns, drugs and cash.
Officers arrested Brandon Varela, 20, of Avon, Tino Fernandes, 21, of Randolph, and a 16-year-old male from Randolph on firearm and drug-related charges following a traffic stop Thursday night in the area of Blue Hill Avenue and Franklin Field Road in Dorchester, officials said.
After the suspects were taken into custody, officers seized a .32 caliber handgun, a bag of heroin, two bags of cocaine and nearly $700 in cash, according to police.
Varela is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession with Intent to distribute class A and B drugs. Fernandes and the teenage suspect are both charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
The arrests come as the result of a lengthy investigation in conjunction with the Randolph and Braintree Police Departments, officials said.
All three suspects were slated to be arraigned Friday in Dorchester District Court.
