The DA said there were 59 reported incidents connected with the address in the past year, and police seized Fentanyl and other drugs Monday.
Eight people were arrested after Boston police searched a South Boston “problem property” that has been a community concern for years, officials said.
Boston police’s drug control and human trafficking units searched an apartment at 231 West Newton Street Monday, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement. In the past year, Hayden said, there were 59 reported incidents connected with that address.
In addition to the eight arrests, many of which were related to outstanding warrants, police seized crack cocaine, methamphetamine, Fentanyl, Suboxone, Diazepam, and a small sum of cash, Hayden said.
“We know that it takes just one problem property or a few problem individuals to degrade the quality of life in entire neighborhoods,” Hayden said. “Actions like this help communities strengthen themselves.”
Jonathan Winters, 44, was arrested on outstanding warrants and a Class B substance charge, which includes some opiates, cocaine, methamphetamines, and some hallucinogens.
