Heroin Trafficking Bust: Beverly Police Arrest 3

BEVERLY, MA — Three people accused of trafficking heroin are behind bars after a months-long investigation, thanks to detectives from the Beverly Police Drug Control Unit, along with Danvers Police Detective Tim Williamson, and the Massachusetts State Police.

The law enforcement officials arrested three in connection with a drug trafficking organization after almost four months of investigation into what they said was suspicious drug activity in a North Beverly neighborhood.

Police arrested Jordan A. Paris-Paredes 25 of Lynn, Santa Nelis Jimenez-Gonzalez 38 also of Lynn, and Rosa Angelica Pena-Martinez 22 of Boston, and charged each with trafficking heroin, several counts of distribution of heroin, and possession with intent to distribute Class B cocaine.

Detectives executed a search warrant at a Cottage Street address in Lynn on January 12, based on the investigation, according to police.

In total, the investigation and subsequent search warrant netted 6 arrests including a previous heroin distribution arrest of 3 individuals from Gloucester, the recovery of several thousand dollars in cash, and heroin amounting to trafficking weight.

After the execution of the search warrant, detectives also learned that Jimenez- Gonzalez had gained entry into the country illegally.
