Narcotics Bust Executed At Windsor Locks Hotel; Child Taken From Room
An undercover operation at a Route 75 motel yielded narcotics, resulting in the arrests of three men, according to police.

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — A lengthy investigation into criminal activity at a Route 75 motel resulted in the arrests of three men Thursday, following intervention by local, state and federal authorities and the Department of Children and Families.
The investigation centered upon the Bradley Inn at 5 Ella Grasso Turnpike, where a robbery involving a machete and facsimile firearm led to a pair of arrests last week. On Thursday, an undercover narcotic and criminal operation was undertaken, and a child later found to have fentanyl and methamphetamines in their system was removed from a room, police said.
Due to the child's age and the ongoing status of the investigation, no further information was released by police.
