Enfield, C.T. – A traffic stop near Routes 5 and 190 grew into an extensive drug investigation that authorities say resulted in three federal arrests and the seizure of approximately 200 kilograms of cocaine.
The investigation began June 5, 2025, when officers stopped a vehicle after observing several traffic violations. According to authorities, the occupants’ behavior raised suspicious during the stop, prompting officers to request K9 Odin.
Police said Odin alerted to the presence of narcotics. Officers then searched the vehicle and found two kilograms of cocaine.
The discovery launched an investigation involving multiple federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Postal Inspectors. Investigators ultimately identified more than 100 parcels connected to the case.
Authorities reported seizing 200 kilograms of cocaine, 150 grams of fentanyl, $43,000 and a pistol they described as illegally possessed during the broader investigation.
Three people were on federal charges, including an alleged supplier in Puerto Rico. Their names, specific charges and court information were not included in the account provided.
Those charged are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
