NASHUA, NH — A total of 151 people were arrested across New Hampshire Thursday during a massive drug sweep. Twenty-nine of those accused were arrested by Nashua police — of those, 20 were charged with drug crimes. The mugshots of those 20 can be found above.

The arrests were part of an ongoing series of Nashua police drug sweeps under the "Granite Shield" program, a state-funded initiative targeting opioid distribution in communities across the state.

Along with the 151 arrests, police said they seized more than $22,000 worth of fentanyl and heroin, 24 weapons and more than $37,000 in cash statewide.

"New Hampshire is safer today because of this months-long cooperative effort between state, local and federal partners,” New Hampshire State Police Colonel Christopher Wagner said in a statement. “I want to thank everyone who participated in this massive effort and thank Governor Chris Sununu for providing the grant funds that make Granite Shield possible. I want anyone in New Hampshire who is engaging in the selling and trafficking of narcotics to know that you are not welcome in our State and you will be arrested."

It was the fourth Granite Shield sweep in Nashua so far this year. Kenney said citizens with information about illegal drug activity in the city should contact the police narcotics hotline at 603-594-3597.
