$1K Reward Offered For Heroin Sales Fugitive: Marshals

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Fugitive Task Force has been asked to assist U.S. Marshals in Pennsylvania with a drug dealing case and a suspect who might be in New Hampshire or Massachusetts. Walky Pereira Da-Castro, a Dominican national, is wanted on a heroin sales charge out of U.S. District Court in Eastern PA. A warrant was issued for his arrest in October 2018.

Da-Castro is 33, about 5-feet, 10-inches tall, and weighs around 225 lbs. He has brown eyes and black hair. According to the task force, he has used the following aliases: “Walky Pereyra,” “Walky Purungo,” and “Walkys Decastro.”

Da-Castro, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal, was last known to be living in southern New Hampshire and/or Lowell, MA. He also has friends and family in the area.

If you see anyone who looks like Da-Castro, contact the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force at 603-225-1632 in Concord or 1-866-865-TIPS in Philadelphia, PA.

Last week, the Lowell Sun reported that Da-Castro may have moved to the Merrimack Valley as far back as November 2018, after being charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics in Pennsylvania.

The attorney general in Pennsylvania had sought $1 million bail for Da-Castro and eight others who were accused of trafficking in as much as $1.5 million in heroin and fentanyl, after more than 30,000 bags of drugs were seized in the state in September 2017.
