Cape Cod Cocaine Raid: 1 Arrested, Police Say

MASHPEE, MA — A Cape Cod man was arrested Friday during a police raid and accused of running a cocaine operation. Brian Costa, 23, was taken into custody at a Mashpee residence on Ninigret Avenue and charged with three counts of cocaine possession with intent to distribute. Police said he was the target of an undercover investigation.

The raid happened Friday at about 4 a.m. at two adjoining residences in the 100-block area of the street. Costa was found with 14 grams of cocaine, packaging materials and about $1,700 in cash, police said.

Police said officers organized a series of undercover drug purchases involving Costa and obtained enough evidence for a warrant for his arrest.

Costa was held in custody pending an arraignment Friday in Falmouth District Court.
