The Worcester Police Department reported an arrest at a local Walmart involving a suspect allegedly connected to heroin trafficking. According to a social media post by the department last Saturday, just as the sun began to dip and cast long shadows across Tobias Boland Way, an officer working an assigned detail at Walmart was alerted by the asset protection team to a shoplifting incident around 5:30 p.m. Two individuals were reportedly attempting to exit the store with unpaid merchandise.
One of the suspects, identified as Christopher Lienczewski, 37, of Webster, was detained for questioning. Initially providing a false name, his true identity was uncovered by the vigilant officer, who also found that Lienczewski had two active warrants.
Upon searching Lienczewski, the officer found a substantive quantity of substances suspected to be fentanyl and heroin, alongside a smaller batch of what is believed to be crack cocaine, concealed cunningly among his personal effects. "Mr. Lienczewski is charged with Trafficking in Heroin 18-36 Grams, Possession of a Class B Substance with intent to Distribute, and his warrants," detailed the Worcester Police in their post.
