Holyoke Police say five people were arrested after police were keeping an eye on Soucy Park for open-air drug deals.
Police confiscated 14 bags of heroin and fentanyl.
Police say the arrests are a result of a combined task force.
Holyoke Police Chief Brian Keenan stated, “I’d like to thank our officers, regional and federal partners for working together with the ultimate goal of removing drug activity from our parks. Mayor Garcia and I want to restore our open spaces, so our residents and children can enjoy them without having to encounter drug dealers. Our officers and Task Force partners will continue to make every effort to improve the quality of life for our residents.”
Nothing from the arraignment session yet.
