WORCESTER — Members of the Worcester Police Department Vice Squad executed a search warrant at a residence on County Club Boulevard on May 28, leading to the arrest of two men for trafficking fentanyl.
At approximately 4:40 p.m., police made entry into the property and located the targets, 47-year-old Jorge Vidot-Villafane and 51-year-old Rafael Diaz.
According to authorities, Diaz attempted to dispose of evidence by making a throwing motion towards the front porch or balcony as officers entered.
Police recovered two small containers in that area; one held 20 bags of crack cocaine, while the other contained 14 bags of fentanyl and a sum of cash.
Further search inside the apartment uncovered a 14-gram bag of fentanyl, 17 smaller bags of the substance, drug paraphernalia, and additional cash, totaling $1,727.
Diaz faces several charges, including possession with intent to distribute Class B drugs and trafficking more than 10 grams of fentanyl, due to outstanding warrants.
Vidot-Villafane was arrested and similarly charged with possession with intent to distribute Class B drugs and trafficking more than 10 grams of fentanyl.
Both men were taken into custody without further incident.
