Fairhaven and Dartmouth Police Detectives, working with the Bristol County Sheriffs Department South Coast Anti Crime Team, arrested two suspects just after 7:00 Tuesday morning for assorted narcotics offenses. Investigators were in the area at that time, planning to execute a search warrant for the second floor apartment located at 30 Spring Street.
