Drugs, Guns, And Money: Malden Police Raid

MALDEN, MA — A 33-year-old resident has been arrested after a police raid resulted in the seizure of multiple forms of illegal paraphernalia.

The raid, led by Detective Kevin Russell of the Criminal Investigations Division, resulted in the seizure of dozens of oxycodone pills, thousands of dollars in cash, and an illegal firearm.

“This case highlights the critical danger posed by ‘street pills,’ especially given the alarming rise in pills being laced with fentanyl, in the form of pressed pills,” the department said in a statement. “Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid, and even a small amount can be fatal.”
