Police surveillance on a vehicle in Quincy has led to a drug arrest in Braintree.

Denny Pementel, 31, of Boston; Glenny Oller-Diaz, 51, of Jamaica Plain; and Rigoberto Villalona, 34, of Jamaica Plain were all taken into custody by police Thursday night.

At 9:40 p.m., police in Quincy were conducting surveillance around Quincy Point and Quincy Center when detectives observed what appeared to be a drug transaction between the occupants of a Mercury Mountaineer and another male party on Spear Street.

After completing the transaction, the buyer left the area but admitted during a traffic stop to purchasing heroin from the driver of the Mercury Mountaineer. He turned a plastic bag of brown powder, believed to be heroin, over to detectives.

Detectives continued surveillance of the Mountaineer as it traveled into Braintree. Officers in Braintree stopped the vehicle at the intersection of Pond Street and Granite Street.

During a search of the vehicle, police found two glassine baggies containing brown powder believed to be heroin and a piece of folded paper containing an off-white substance believed to be crack cocaine, along with a digital scale, three cell phones, and money inside a purse.

All three were charged with distributing heroin, possession of heroin with the intent to distribute, possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, conspiracy to violate drug law, and a school zone violation.

During the booking process two additional bags of brown powder substance, believed to be heroin, were recovered from Villalona. Ten smaller glassine baggies, containing a white powder substance, believed to be cocaine, were recovered from Pimentel.

All parties were scheduled to be arraigned in Quincy District Court Friday morning.
