On Saturday afternoon at approximately 2:30pm members of the Organized Crime and Intelligence Bureau executed a search warrant at a Reynolds Street apartment in the north end of New Bedford. This was the result of an investigation by Det. Kurt Dreher into a heroin delivery service being operated out of the home.
As a result of the search, 198 grams of heroin, 51 grams of marijuana, $7,939 in cash, as well as packaging material was seized. The drugs have an estimated street value of $19,000. Both husband and wife were arrested on drug trafficking charges and were arraigned Monday morning in district court.
