HYDE PARK, MA — A Brockton man was arrested Friday morning following the execution of multiple search warrants that led to the seizure of approximately 233 grams of suspected crack cocaine.
Prince Denis, 34, of Brockton, was taken into custody at about 9 a.m. on Oct. 24 at 280 Hyde Park Avenue.
Members of the Boston Police Department’s E-5 (West Roxbury) and E-18 (Hyde Park) Drug Control Units assisted the Suburban Middlesex County Drug Task Force in executing the search warrants, which were issued by Waltham District Court.
The warrants authorized the search of Denis’s person, residence and motor vehicle.
During the operation, investigators observed Denis exit from the rear of 280 Hyde Park Avenue carrying a brown paper bag, which he placed into a nearby vehicle.
Officers approached, identified themselves and informed Denis of the search warrants.
Recovered from Denis were a key fob, a set of keys associated with an apartment at 280 Hyde Park Avenue and a mobile phone.
Using the keys, officers entered the apartment and executed the corresponding search warrant.
Inside, officers recovered two bottles of lactose, a locked strong box containing an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency and keys belonging to the strong box.
Officers also executed the search warrant for the vehicle, where they recovered a brown paper bag containing approximately 233 grams of a white rock-like substance believed to be crack cocaine, along with personal papers in the name of Prince Denis.
The vehicle was seized pending forfeiture through the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.
Denis was charged with Trafficking a Class B Substance (Over 200 Grams).
He is expected to be arraigned in West Roxbury District Court.
