| Federal, state and local authorities arrested about 100 people across southern New England on Wednesday, alleging involvement in heroin and cocaine trafficking from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
More than 700 law enforcement officers executed scores of federal and state arrest and arrest warrants in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Puerto Rico and Rhode Island, officials said. About 52 people were arrested on federal narcotics and money laundering charges, and 51 were arrested on state narcotics and related charges.
Additional defendants were previously arrested during the investigation and several individuals are being sought. The arrests stem from a 15-month investigation that included wiretaps on 15 telephones, physical surveillance and controlled purchases and seizures of cocaine and heroin.
