The effort – which included Portsmouth Police working with the Seacoast High Intensity Drug Interdiction Team made up of local officers and detectives from Seabrook, Hampton, Greenland and Newington police departments, along with the assistance of the New Hampshire State Police Mobile Enforcement Team, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and New Hampshire Probation and Parole – were in the area of Lafayette Road and Peverly Hill Road in Portsmouth when they spotted Mackenzie and apprehended him on a drug sale warrant.

“Once in custody he was also in possession of a quantity of heroin,” according to a press statement from Lt. Mark Newport of the Portsmouth Police Department.

Not far from the same area, Foster, Gray, and Perkins were reportedly located in a vehicle by the team. Foster – who also had active warrants – was allegedly found to be in possession of heroin. Gray was allegedly in possession of meth. Perkins also allegedly was in possession of heroin and pot.

Mackenzie and Foster were held without bail due to being on probation. Perkins was held on $250 cash bail. They are scheduled to be arraigned today in Rockingham County Superior Court. Gray posted $250 bail and is due in court on Nov. 3.
