Five guns and nearly a kilogram of crack cocaine were found “scattered” around a Manchester home when authorities served warrants this week in connection with a lengthy undercover narcotics investigation, according to police.
The focus of the probe was a local crack cocaine dealer, identified by police as Josiah Cadette, 28. Also arrested was Cadette’s girlfriend, Nysha M. Sanchez, 26.
The East Central Narcotics Task Force — comprised of members from Manchester, South Windsor, Glasonbury and Vernon police — wrapped up the investigation on Tuesday by serving warrants in connection with the case in Vernon and Manchester, according to Sgt. Shawn Krom, the task force supervisor.
When investigators served the search warrants, Krom said, Sanchez and a 3-year-old were at the Manchester residence.
Investigators said they seized nearly a kilogram of cocaine, five guns, multiple high-capacity magazines including a drum magazine for a pistol with 50-round capacity, over $12,000 in cash and two vehicles.
The amount of cocaine seized had an estimated street value of $50,000, Krom said. He said the drugs and guns were found “scattered” in various areas of the home, “with no regard for the presence or safety of the toddler.”
Krom said the child was placed in the care of a family member and the state Department of Children and Families was notified.
Cadette was taken into custody and processed at Vernon police headquarters on charges of possession of a controlled substance, sale of a controlled substance. He was held on a $75,000 bond on those offenses. Krom said Cadette is expected to face additional charges once investigators submit arrest affidavits based on the search warrants.
Sanchez was processed at Manchester police headquarters on charges of possession of narcotics, possession with intent to sell, operation of a drug factory, possession of drug paraphernalia within 1,500-feet of a school, two counts of risk of injury to a minor, criminally negligent storage of a firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine.
Anyone with information on illegal drug activity in the Manchester, South Windsor, Vernon and Glastonbury communities is asked to call 860-645-5548.
