Police investigating heroin sales in Hartford seized 1,800 bags of heroin as well as several guns, found a stash house at a hotel in Windsor and arrested two people.
Police said detectives from the Hartford Police Department Vice and Narcotics unit were trying to execute a search and seizure warrant at a home on the second floor of 112 Ward Street after learning that the person they were looking for, Abdul Callwood, 41, of Hartford, was on Buckingham Street with a large amount of heroin. Police found him and seized 1,497 bags of heroin.
Police also arrested the woman he was with, Kristine Thompson, 23, of Windsor, on several drug charges.
As police continued to investigate, they learned that Thompson was stashing and packaging heroin at the Flamingo Inn in Windsor, police said, so officers went there, where they searched a room and found 18 grams of "raw" heroin, police said.
Windsor police seized the drugs and will be applying for an arrest warrant for Thompson, according to Hartford police.
Along with the Windsor hotel, police searched Callwood’s home on Ward Street and found a loaded .40 caliber firearm; a loaded .25 caliber firearm; a loaded SKS assault rifle, which police said was stolen out of Oregon; several rounds of ammunition; 64 grams of raw heroin; and packaging material, police said.
Police said Callwood has previous convictions and he was charged with possession of an assault weapon, three counts of criminal possession of a firearm, possession of a high-capacity magazine, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of narcotics and possession of narcotics with intent to sell.
