Three men are facing multiple drug trafficking and firearm charges following their arrests in Holyoke.
The suspects are identified as 35-year-old Luis Acevedo and 26-year-old Christopher Perez, both from Holyoke, and 33-year-old Duane Howlette of Springfield.
Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni says the battle will continue against those who try to profit from opiates and addiction.
"We will continue to fight the battle against opiates and addiction, and those who wish to profit from them. But, if we as a community are going to win this fight, the court system has to play its important role in treating serious and repeat offenders as the law directs and our society should demand. I thank the task force detectives in my office for their work and their commitment to safe streets, free of illegal drugs and guns,” Gulluni said.
They all have court dates in October.
