According to police, the NHSP Narcotics Unit along with Manchester detectives thought that Torres might be transporting heroin last night while in Manchester. At the time of a traffic stop, at about 5:40 p.m., he was allegedly driving an Acura on the West Side of the city.

Torres was stopped and police allegedly found 300 grams – 30 “fingers” – of heroin, with a street value of about $10,500.

“They essentially removed 1,500 individual ‘hits’ of heroin from the street with this one arrest,” stated Lt. Brian O’Keefe of the Manchester Police Department.
