Police arrest three on drug charges

Oct 17, 2019

Three people were arrested on drug charges following tips from community members. 

Acting on tips that came in over the last two weeks, the Wareham Police Detective Division launched an investigation into suspected drug dealing at 6 Windy Hill Dr. in West Wareham. 

On Tuesday, Oct. 15, detectives set up surveillance at the Windy Hill Drive location and followed the suspects as they drove to multiple locations in Wareham and New Bedford. At about 2:45 p.m., the car pulled into the New England Farms Store, near the Wareham Police Station, where detectives and patrol officers observed the situation.

Three people were placed under arrest after detectives found suspected heroin, as well as multiple pills, a digital scale, and “corner bags,” all consistent with illegal drug activity.

At about 3:40 p.m., detectives and patrol officers served a search warrant at the home, where the detectives confiscated more “corner bags,” three digital scales, Suboxone, and suspected heroin.

“These drug arrests were a direct result of citizen complaints to the tip line and Text-a-Tip,” said Walcek. “Drug dealers should be warned that we will continue the push to arrest them and bring them to justice.”

Robert B. Mahan, 28, of 6 Windy Hill Dr., West Wareham, is charged with possession with intent to distribute a class “A” drug, possession with intent to distribute a class “E” drug, possession of a class “B” drug, and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
