Seizure of AR-15 assault rifle, fentanyl worth over 1 million dollars at Massachusetts migrant housing leads to arrest
An arrest has resulted from a significant seizure at a migrant lodging in Massachusetts.
Revere Police Patrol Units began an early-morning investigation Friday inside a hotel room at the Quality Inn, 100 Morris Street in Revere, according to the police. Patrol officers found a big capacity.556 caliber assault weapon as a consequence of the investigation. Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, 28, was later taken into custody by officers for the firearms violation.
Later, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department and Revere Police Detectives assigned to the Special Investigations Unit and Criminal Investigation Division requested for and were granted a search warrant for the property. After the search warrant was carried out, about 5 kg/10 lbs of fentanyl, worth over $1 million on the black market, were found. Three magazines for big capacity rifles were also found, one of which contained.556 rounds.
Chief David J. Callahan claimed that this person put the community at large, hotel guests, on-site staff, and public safety officers in danger. His apprehension demonstrates our will to put in endless effort to safeguard our neighborhood against individuals who traffic in lethal fentanyl and illegally own firearms.
ERO officers concluded during a Spanish-language interview that Andujar had illegally entered the United States at an unidentified location on an unspecified date at some point during the previous year.
As soon as he was arrested, ERO Boston filed an immigration detainer against him.
Sanchez was accused with eleven firearm violations as well as fentanyl trafficking. He was detained without bail after being charged at Chelsea District Court on Thursday. On January 2, there will be a Dangerousness Hearing.
