DORCHESTER — Officers arrested 52-year-old Trang Duong on Wednesday morning, following a drug operation that uncovered significant quantities of fentanyl and a firearm.
The arrest occurred around 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 6, after law enforcement executed search warrants at a residence on 8 Ellsworth Street as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation.
The search led to the seizure of a F.lli Pietta firearm, 110 rounds of 9mm ammunition, approximately 65 grams of fentanyl, 8 grams of crack cocaine, and around $10,960 in U.S. currency.
Duong, a Dorchester resident, faces multiple charges including unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, trafficking in class A drugs, and possession with intent to distribute class A and B drugs.
The accused is slated for arraignment at Roxbury District Court.
