TRURO, MA — Police seized a host of drugs—including GHB, the "date rape" drug—in a recent bust in Truro.

Scott Donaghue, 31, and Damon Robinson, 24, both of Billerica, were arrested on a host of charges.

Police said on Thursday, an officer stopped Donaghue's 2015 Audi A3 on Shore Road after Donaghue allegedly failed to use a turn signal. The suspects were acting "suspicious," so a K-9 unit searched the vehicle and found 14 grams of methamphetamine, GHB, and various pills, police said. Also recovered were a scale, packaging materials, and $880 in cash, police said.

The suspects were charged with drug possession with intent to distribute. Police said they have extensive criminal histories—Robinson has 40 prior charges.
