An investigation into two men suspected of trafficking fentanyl led officers to execute a pair of search warrants at a home in the 100 block of Charles Street around 8 p.m. Friday.

They say investigators found nearly 530 grams of fentanyl worth an estimated $105,700 on the street, a loaded, sawed-off shotgun and assorted ammunition, as well as digital scales.

Police say they also seized cookware they say had been “contaminated with a substance believed to be drug residue.”
