TILTON — Tilton police made a significant drug bust on Monday evening, seizing a large quantity of what they suspect to be heroin, fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine, as well as a stolen gun and cash, from a vehicle. According to a press release issued by Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormier, Tilton officers observed a vehicle "meet another vehicle" in the park-and-ride lot near Route 93's Exit 20 on Monday evening. Officers stopped the vehicle because of an invalid inspection sticker, at which point the officers saw evidence of illegal drugs in the vehicle and requested a search warrant. Also seized was a handgun, reported stolen out of Boston, cash, and other items commonly used in the sale of drugs. "The officers' traffic stop took a large amount of two very dangerous drugs off the street and which was clearly intended to be sold in the area," Cormier said in the release.
