Early yesterday morning, Boston Police successfully conducted a raid in Roxbury that led to the arrest of four individuals on various charges. According to a report from the Boston Police Department, officers from the Drug Control Units of Districts B-2, B-3, and C-6 collaborated to execute search warrants at two neighboring residences on Clifford Street.

During the operation, Rashaan Lashley of Westwood and Gina Minichiello of Boston were apprehended. Attempting to escape through a bedroom window, the target of the investigation, Lashley, was caught by members of the SWAT team. Reflecting the scope of this carefully coordinated takedown, officers unearthed a variety of firearms, along with a considerable quantity of narcotics and drug paraphernalia.

Recovered items from the search include a Walter PK 380, a Smith & Wesson 380 MP, rounds of different calibers, over 45 grams of Cocaine, Psilocybin and Marijuana in packaged bags, nineteen pills of Gabapentin, and equipment indicative of drug trafficking. Also seized during the bust was $3,462 in cash. Lashley and Minichiello face multiple charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm and various drug trafficking offenses, with Lashley receiving an additional charge related to ammunition possession.

In a related sweep of the properties, two women with outstanding warrants were also arrested. Trying to conduct a routine protective sweep, officers encountered Eric Rosario and Danisha Johnson, who were subsequently taken into custody for shoplifting and possession, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, larceny from a person, and drug offenses, respectively.

All four individuals were processed and are expected to face their charges at Roxbury District Court.
