Drugs, guns, and cold hard cash, seized in a bust that has Mattapan streets breathing a little easier today. The Boston Police Department, with officers from various units, including the Drug Control Units of C-6, B-3, A-1, and Anti-Crime Units from B-2 and B-3, took down a pair of suspects in a significant operation on Saturday afternoon, as reported on the Boston Police Department's official website.

Armed with search warrants for both body and residence, cops nabbed 29-year-old Angel Ruiz of Roxbury on Blue Hill Ave. at around 2 PM. The arrest was made after discovering crack cocaine on Ruiz's person, though the rest remained hidden away back at his abode, waiting for the police to uncover. His comrade in cuffs, 55-year-old Raymond Richardson of Mattapan, was caught in the web of justice on unrelated charges when officers raided Ruiz's residence on Almont Street.

The raid didn't just net suspects; it excavated an arsenal and a drug trove. Officers cataloged a .357 Ruger Revolver, an FM9 9MM AR Pistol, and magazines—including a 50 Round Drum—along with 180 rounds of ammunition. The scourge of crack cocaine, approximately 30 grams, and about 10 grams of fentanyl found themselves snatched from circulation. The cherry on top for law enforcement? Seizing $7,736 in U.S. currency, a signal of the illegal trade's lucrative nature.

In the custody of police, Ruiz faces a list of charges that would give pause to any seasoned criminal, highlighted by unlawful possession of a firearm, ammunition, and a large capacity feeding device, along with trafficking class A and B drugs. As the wheels of justice begin to turn, Ruiz is scheduled for arraignment in Dorchester District Court, where the gavel of law and order waits to pronounce his fate.
