As a result, one local resident was arrested and a large amount of Heroin and cash seized. Police also impounded two vehicles believed to be used in the illegal operation and have begun forfeiture proceedings on those vehicles. Olvin Lopez, age 29 of 36 Tudor Street was charged with Trafficking in Heroin and various other drug related offenses. Chief Kyes stated, “These arrests were made with the help of the community and their willingness to provide investigators with detailed information” He added, “The Chelsea Police will continue its aggressive measures against drug dealing in the city utilizing all available resources”
