Cape Cod Fentanyl Raid: Couple Arrested, Police Say

DENNIS, MA — A Cape Cod drug raid netted two dealers on heroin and fentanyl charges, police announced Monday. Jeffrey Laurie, 28, and Amanda Shewan, 26, were arrested Friday and charged with conspiracy and dealing fentanyl and heroin. Laurie and Shewan are "well-known" to Cape Cod law enforcement agencies, police said. Laurie has previously been convicted of dealing heroin and fentanyl.

The raid was conducted Friday at about 6 p.m. in Dennis at a Main Street apartment "based on an investigation involving the Yarmouth and Dennis Police Department regarding the distribution of addictive, deadly, and dangerous drugs to residents in both communities," Yarmouth police said in a statement.

Police said officers seized fentanyl, heroin and $9,600 in cash "made through illegal drug sales."

Laurie was released on $1,000 bail; Shewan was released on $40 bail. They were scheduled for arraignments Monday in Barnstable District Court.

"The Yarmouth Police Department commends the teamwork and effective community policing of both police departments in the arrest of these two illegal drug dealers and the seizure of the illegal drugs and profits made through drug dealing," police added.
