On the evening of October 23rd, 2024, Worcester Police Vice Squad officers recovered two firearms and a quantity of fentanyl following a motor vehicle stop.
Officers had developed information earlier in the day that a 44-year-old man, identified as Christian Andino-Morales, was allegedly dealing fentanyl from his Honda Pilot. Around 8 PM, officers spotted the vehicle near the Walgreens on Park Avenue and conducted a traffic stop.
During the stop, officers discovered two loaded handguns inside the vehicle. Mr. Andino-Morales did not have a license to carry firearms. Additionally, officers located a bag containing what appeared to be fentanyl and crack cocaine.
