Peabody Police hauled in 670 grams of heroin on Friday after a “multi-jurisdictional” operation involving several branches of law enforcement hit paydirt when they searched a suspect’s car.
Authorities charged Luis Espinal, 26, of Roslindale with trafficking over 100 grams of a Class A substance.
Officials said that the 670 grams has a street value of about $70,000.
Peabody Police teamed up with a narcotics team from Everett and the DEA in what they are calling a “significant seizure.”
