Police Arrested 51 During A Ma s sive Heroin Raid In Waterbury

  • Waterbury police arrested 51 people who involved in he r o i n trafficking during a ma s sive Friday raid.
  • Police said the bust came after an extensive investigation about the he r o i n traffickers that began in September 2018.
  • Along with detaining 51, police seized a large amount of he r o i n, $15,000 in cash, guns and two cars.
  • Police said in a press release that 24 people died of substance overdose in 2019 in Waterbury alone.

Waterbury police busted ma s sive he r o i n on Friday that resulted in the apprehension of 51 people and seizure of guns, $15,000 in cash, two cars and thousands of packets of he r o i n packaged for sale.

Later, police in Waterbury, Connecticut said in a news conference that the bust came after a series of extensive investigation that started last September in response to an increased "he r o i n abuse" and he r o i n-related death in the city.

Police reported the detained to be mid-level drug dealers mostly involved in the supply and sale of he r o i n. They added the months-long secret operation "Operation Raw Deal" included intensive investigations on all the he r o i n suppliers.

David Silverio, Waterbury Police spokesman, told CNN they were still looking for 10 additional suspects related to he r o i n trafficking. He said,

The objective of this extensive investigation was to suppress the trafficking of he r o i n in Waterbury. As of May 4th, there have been 24 deaths in Waterbury -- this year alone -- and 99 overdoses

Thirteen groups of around 135 detectives, officers, and investigators from several Waterbury police units unfolded a series of raids across Waterbury Friday morning where personnel from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies were also involved.
