The Massachusetts State Police took out a cocaine exchange in Ludlow, arresting two and seizing roughly $500,000 in coke.
The two traffickers were being surveilled for some time and were spotted exchanging 15 kilos of cocaine at a rest stop near the Massachusetts Turnpike on August 29, 2022.
Two Arrested in Massachusetts State Police Drug Sting – $500,000 in Cocaine Seized
According to authorities, they tailed Gerardo Madrigal Quintero (23) as he drove the tractor-trailer to the rest stop. There, he met Joel Enrique Armenta Castro (30) and the two exchanged the packaged product.
Quintero was arrested as he drove the trailer through the town of Longmeadow. Authorities have said that both men are Mexican nationals.
Castro and Quintero were charged with trafficking 200 grams or more of cocaine. They were also charged with conspiracy to violate drug law. The duo was held without bail and the hearing to determine how much of a risk they are was on September 2, 2022.
Colonel Christopher Mason of the State Police addressed the successful sting and the potential threat the cocaine posed to the state:
“The cocaine that troopers, agents, and task force officers prevented from reaching the streets of Massachusetts through this investigation was worth more than half a million dollars to its suppliers in Mexico. Had it reached its destination it would have been cut up, packaged, and sold throughout our communities, and it would have caused violence, ruined families, and ended lives.
The Massachusetts State Police will continue to work with our law enforcement and prosecutorial partners to interdict drug traffickers and their deadly product.”
