SOUTHBRIDGE — A late-night traffic stop on Worcester Street by Southbridge Police Department detectives and officers has led to the seizure of suspected narcotics with an estimated street value of $15,000 and the arrest of four individuals, authorities announced Sunday.
The stop, which occurred at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, was the culmination of an investigation into local drug trafficking.
With the help of narcotics-detecting K-9 “Pablo,” now serving with the Charlton Police Department, police recovered roughly 100 grams of suspected cocaine, numerous pills believed to be Adderall and Oxycodone, multiple bags of a substance thought to be marijuana, and approximately $1,156 in cash suspected to be proceeds from drug sales.

The suspects were held at Southbridge Police Headquarters with bail set for Rivera Jr. at $50,040, and $10,040 each for Feliciano, Colon-Miranda, and Rivera-Torres.
They are scheduled for arraignment in Dudley District Court on Monday, Nov. 20.
