Boston Police Blotter: East Boston drug bust, loaded gun seized in Dorchester
Boston Police, working with the US Postal Service, seized six kilos of drugs worth over $1 million in an East Boston bust Tuesday.
Officers executed search warrants at multiple locations, including 11 Trustman Terrace and 906A Saratoga Street.
During the operation, police said they recovered 3.5 kilos of fentanyl and 2.5 kilograms of cocaine, valued at about $1 million and $150,000 respectively. They also found a 9mm large-capacity semi-automatic firearm, a large-capacity feeding device, ammunition, an additional feeding device, as well as cellphone, an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency and pills they believe to be narcotics.
Police arrested Anny Perdomo-Santana, 35, of East Boston, for allegedly trafficking the drugs they seized.
Perdomo-Santana faces charges of trafficking more than 200 grams of fentanyl, trafficking more than 200 grams of cocaine, unlawful possession of a large capacity firearm, unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device, firearm violation in commission of a felony, and improper storage of a large capacity firearm near a minor.
“Additionally, an individual was summonsed to court, in lieu of arrest, to face a charge of Trafficking of a Class B Substance (Cocaine) Over 200 Grams due to medical considerations identified at the time of the enforcement action,” BPD said in a statement.
Dorchester man arrested on gun charges
Boston Police officers arrested a 19-year-old on firearm charges Wednesday night in Roxbury after finding a gun hidden in the snow.
Officers were called to the area around 57 Charlame St. at about 9:14 p.m. for a report of a person with a gun. As police arrived in the area, they said they saw someone matching the description of the suspect.
They stopped Jamauri Chambers of Dorchester, performed a pat frisk, but did not find a weapon, police said.
“Chambers was sweating heavily despite extremely cold weather conditions,” officers noted.
Because of the nature of the call, the officers continued to investigate and search the area where Chambers was first seen.
Officers said they noticed a side gate partially open on North Charlame Court with footprints leading to a rear fence. After following the footprints, police said they noticed an impression on the snow and used a mop handle to reveal “a black revolver-style firearm with a wood grip secured inside a black nylon holster.”
The gun was later identified as a Charco Inc. Bulldog Pug .44 caliber revolver, according to BPD.
Chambers was arrested and charged with carrying a loaded firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without an FID card, and trespassing.
He is expected to be arraigned at Roxbury District Court.

BPD responded to 287 incidents in the 24-hour period ending at 10 a.m. Thursday, according to the department’s incident log. Those included arrests for two robberies, five aggravated assaults, three residential burglaries, one larceny from a vehicle, and 13 miscellaneous larcenies.

Red Sox at Reds preview: Sonny Gray makes his first start for Boston – The Boston Globe
Gray, acquired in a November trade from the St. Louis Cardinals, was one of Boston’s key rotation additions, along with Ranger Suarez, in the offseason. He was 14-8 with a 4.28 ERA in 2025.
“He’s very specific about his work. Every day has a purpose,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of Gray. “Two hundred strikeouts, that’s something that we were looking for. The competitor. Every five days, this guy is going to give you everything.”
In his five career appearances against the Reds, Gray is 1-3 with a 4.18 ERA.
“It’s pretty much one of the only things that is continuing to push me, is to get to a World Series, to win a World Series, to pitch in big games,” said Gray. “I love the moment, and I am chasing that moment.”
Here’s the preview:
RED SOX (1-0): TBA
Pitching: RHP Sonny Gray
REDS (0-1): TBA
Pitching: RHP Brady Singer
Time: 4:10 p.m.
TV, radio: NESN, WEEI-FM 93.7
Red Sox vs. Singer: Wilyer Abreu 2-5, Roman Anthony 1-2, Willson Contreras 2-7, Jarren Duran 3-10, Caleb Durbin 0-1, Isiah Kiner-Falefa 6-16, Marcelo Mayer 0-1, Andruw Monasterio 1-4, Carlos Narváez 1-1, Ceddanne Rafaela 1-5, Trevor Story 0-4, Connor Wong 2-8, Masataka Yoshida 2-7

Stat of the day: Sal Stewart become the first Cincinnati rookie since 1958 to record three hits on Opening Day.
Notes: Cincinnati sends righthander Brady Singer (14-12, 4.03 in 2025) to the mound … With Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo already on the injured list to start the season, Singer is considered one of Cincinnati’s most durable pitchers, leading the Reds with 32 starts last season … Singer has made five career starts against Boston, posting a 2-2 record with a 4.88 ERA over 24 innings … His last appearance against the Red Sox, on July 1 in Boston, ended after just three innings when he allowed two earned runs on three hits.

Mayor Robert Van Campen talks about priorities in Everett
Nearly three months since assuming office as mayor of Everett, Massachusetts, Mayor Robert Van Campen isn’t wasting any time.
The former city councilor ousted 18-year incumbent Carlo DeMaria in decisive fashion last November, but even so, issues surrounding his predecessor still linger at City Hall.
A state-led salary audit of DeMaria found $180,000 in overpayment, a finding the former mayor disputes. Van Campen says the city is monitoring ongoing investigations.
“What I’ve conveyed to my partners in government here, locally, is to allow that state process to play itself out, and then we, as a community, will make a decision,” the mayor said. “In addition to that, I recently met with Inspector General Jeff Shapiro, who visited me at City Hall. We had a great conversation about transparency in government, best practices, putting in the right systems to ensure that that type of financial oversight doesn’t happen in the future.”
Beyond the audit, Van Campen is placing emphasis on school overcrowding.
“My objective is to try to implement solutions as quickly as I can,” he said. “Our high school today, which was built for I think 1,650 students, now houses around 2,200.”
The World Cup is creating buzz across Massachusetts, including in Everett, where the Kraft Group is looking to build a soccer stadium.
To alleviate that problem, the mayor is using federal ARPA funds to repair the old Everett High School and seeking out other spaces that could be used in the future.
“Would I like to build out new classroom space for the students of Everett in the next one to two years? Yes, that’s my ideal,” Van Campen said. “But I want to make sure that if we do it on a quick timeline, it’s done in a correct and proper fashion.”
Also in focus for the mayor is a new soccer stadium for the New England Revolution on the shores of the Mystic River.
The Kraft Group, Boston, Everett and the state Legislature have all taken steps to make the project a reality, but Van Campen says there’s still more work to do.
“It’s a transformative project, it’s a breathtaking project,” said Van Campen. “But I’ve been clear with all the stakeholders around that project, and the other larger developments going on down there, that we have to make sure that transit issues are comprehensively addressed, that pedestrian access issues are comprehensively addressed, that all those issues have to be addressed to perfection in order for these projects to succeed.”
Tune in on Sunday, March 29 at 9:30 a.m. for our extended @Issue Sit Down with Van Campen.
