November 17, 2005
SHREWSBURY - The Regional Drug and Counter Crime Task Force executed a search warrant at 50 Longfellow Rd. in Shrewsbury at approximately 6:00 this morning. During the search police seized approximately 120 marijuana plants that were being grown in the house and arrested four adults.
Police also seized high intensity lights, fertilizer and two vehicles. Evidence was found at the scene connecting the suspects to the outdoor marijuana grow discovered on Gulf Street in October.
According to Shrewsbury Police Chief A. Wayne Sampson, the investigation that led to today’s arrests and seizures began approximately five weeks ago when a resident reported the discovery of an outdoor marijuana grow in the Gulf St./Rte. 290 area of Town. Police investigating the report found 20 plants being grown in a field near Rte. 290 off of Gulf St.
Surveillance was set up by Shrewsbury Police around the outdoor grow, and within 48 hours the suspect returned to the scene and removed most of the plants. At that time the suspect also took the police surveillance cameras.
As part of the investigation, Police released a sketch based on a description of the grower by the resident who initially reported the find. Flyers describing certain details of the suspect as well as the composite were sent to the surrounding neighborhoods. A tip in response to the flyers eventually led the Police to the family at 50 Longfellow Rd.:
Items Seized at the Scene by Police::
In a press conference at the Shrewsbury Police Headquarters, Chief Sampson said that the indoor grow system found at the house represents one of the most significant drug finds in the Town of Shrewsbury. “Every single room had evidence of narcotics distribution,” Chief Sampson said.
Of the four adults arrested at the scene, one was a senior at Shrewsbury High School, which is significant because of the possibility of narcotics distribution within a school zone. The arrests made at the house were of a mother, daughter, son and the mother’s boyfriend.
According to Police, the Longfellow Rd. home is a mere quarter of a mile from the outdoor grow that was found off of Gulf St. in October. Among the evidence found connecting the suspects to the Gulf St. marijuana plants were the very distinctive red gas jugs painted green that a witness had seen the grower carrying.
Items Seized at the Scene by Police
Between the outdoor grow found off of Gulf St. and the indoor grow at the Longfellow Rd. home, there were 140 marijuana plants making up the distribution operation. The total street worth of the drugs is estimated by Police to be around $125,000.
Financial records were also seized by Police as part of the ongoing investigation. The suspects will be arraigned in Westborough District Court tomorrow morning.
The press conference held at Shrewsbury Police Headquarters at 3:30 p.m. this afternoon can be seen on SGTV Channel 30 at 6:00 p.m. tonight.

During an inventory search of the motor Officer O’Toole recovered 11 glassine baggies, a large glass jar containing what appeared to be marijuana, a pipe for smoking marijuana, a scale, a large heavy zip lock bag containing more mushrooms and $377 in cash from the console of the vehicle.
Officer O’Toole seized a total of $561 during the investigation. Police have additionally placed a hold on the Honda Civic the men were discovered in when arrested. The Regional Drug and Counter Crime Task Force is working with the officers involved in the arrests and will be forwarding information on the vehicle and the money seized to the District Attorney’s Office for review and possible seizure.
