Bridgeport Police Task force Officers, in conjunction with Federal Bureau of Investigation Safe Streets Tasks Force Officers, seized a large quantity of illegal narcotics from an East Side stash house on Wednesday night.
In a stash house on Ohio Avenue in Bridgeport, officers and detectives found 1,555.82 grams of fentanyl pills, 209.19 grams of cocaine, 2.4 grams of heroin, and 1,704.08 grams of marijuana. They also found a press used for compressing powdered narcotics into kilograms, as well as other narcotics packaging equipment and materials in that house.
Officers and detectives also executed a search warrant at the Morales Market at Kossuth Street and Jane Street in Bridgeport on Wednesday night, as well at two locations in Shelton. No evidence was found at the market and the Shelton addresses.
Probable cause to search the locations was presented to prosecutors and a judge. A judge signed the search warrants.
The search warrants are part on an on-going investigation that is expected to be adopted Federally. Arrests are anticipated.
“This seizure is the result of outstanding investigative work,” said Bridgeport Police Chief Roderick Porter. “Preventing these dangerous narcotics from reaching the public has saved lives in Bridgeport and elsewhere.”
