The Boston Police orchestrated a successful raid in Roxbury where they seized large quantities of fentanyl and crack cocaine, leading to the arrest of two men, Keon Leary, and Christopher Brown. Arrested on November 10, the men were held under suspicion of drug trafficking and multiple possession charges.

This operation was carried out by the Drug Control Units of District D-4 (South End) and District E-5 (Roslindale/West Roxbury) together with the Human Trafficking Unit. Full details of the operation can be found on the Boston Police Department website.

The operation resulted in the confiscation of roughly 95 grams of fentanyl, 237 grams of crack cocaine, various pills, marijuana, and a good amount of cash.

A Sig Sauer P365 firearm with a high-capacity magazine was also discovered.

This evidence reinforces concerns about the prevalence of drugs and deadly weapons in our neighbourhoods.
