Lowell Police Make Significant Seizure With Help From Billerica PD K9
Detectives from the Lowell Police Department’s Special Investigation Section stopped a motor vehicle yesterday morning around 11:45am and seized more than a kilo of Cocaine and over $87,000.00 cash. With the assistance of the Billerica Police K9 Unit, two sophisticated ‘hides’ were located inside the Toyota that yielded the drugs and money. The stop was the result of an investigation into information received via the department’s social media complaining about possible drug dealing at 99 W. Sixth St. Police Superintendent William Taylor lauded the efforts of the Special Investigation Section, which is tasked with illegal narcotic and gang investigations. “This is an outstanding arrest that results in the disruption of a significant cocaine trafficking operation in the city.” Arrested and charged with Trafficking Cocaine is Elias Escarraman, age 31 from Connecticut. He will be arraigned in Lowell District Court this morning.
