Bail Set At $50K For Mother Called 'Significant' Fentanyl Dealer

BEVERLY, MA — A Salem District Court judge set bail at $50,000 for a Beverly mother of two who prosecutors described as a "significant" North Shore drug dealer. Gabriela Gondim, 31, of 15 Ives Street in Beverly, was already under surveillance when her Cadillac SUV got a flat tire on Sohier Road Thursday afternoon. Police recovered 25.5 grams of fentanyl, 15 grams of cocaine, nearly $18,600 in cash and drug paraphernalia when they executed a search warrant of her apartment. Her children, ages 10 and 12, were in the vehicle.

According to the Salem News, which first reported this story, Everett and Beverly Police had been investigating Gondim since December. She recently moved to Beverly from Everett. Prosecutors say police made 10 undercover purchases from Gondim and a courier she used to make deals.
