Four arrested in North Adams on drug-related charges

North Adams Police say four arrests were made Thursday, all related to drug-related findings.

Police say members of their criminal investigation unit served a search warrant at a North Adams home used for narcotics distribution.

During the search, investigators say they seized crack cocaine, digital scales, packaging materials and U.S. currency linked to the illegal sale of narcotics. Police say they have arrested a man in the investigation and charged him with possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance.

Police said later in the day that the detective unit conducted a vehicle stop, which came to a stop above the city line in Adams.

The driver of the vehicle had a suspended driver’s license and was arrested, police said.

North Adams Police said that based on observations made by investigators at the scene, there was probable cause to search the vehicle and the other two occupants of the vehicle.

Investigators say they found crack cocaine, heroin, pills believed to contain fentanyl, digital scales, packaging materials and U.S. currency linked to the illegal sale of narcotics. Police say this has nothing to do with the search warrant executed earlier in the day.

North Adams Police say they have arrested all three men from the vehicle, all from Pittsfield, and have filed the following charges:

• Operation after suspension (the driver)
• Possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance
• Two counts of possession of a Class A substance
• Conspiracy
