TEWKSBURY — Chief Ryan Columbus announced the arrest of two men on drug charges by the Tewksbury Police Department.
Vincent Aiello, age 53, of Derry, NH, was arrested and charged with possession of a Class B drug.
Edgar Herrera, age 39, of Lowell, was arrested and charged with distribution of a Class B drug.
The arrests came after Tewksbury Police and the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office observed what appeared to be a drug transaction involving a black Lexus Sedan and a blue Honda CRV on Friday, Jan. 17, at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Andover Street.
Officers conducted a motor vehicle stop of both the Lexus, driven by Aiello, and the Honda, driven by Herrera.
A search of Aiello’s person yielded a small bag containing a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine.
Aiello and Herrera were taken into custody without incident and are scheduled to be arraigned in Lowell District Court today.
