In a significant bust on Country Club Boulevard, Worcester Police Vice Squad officers swiftly acted on a search warrant, igniting a sharp crackdown on local drug trafficking. The raid, dated May 8th, seized substances believed to be cocaine and amphetamine from the residence of one Janet Damico, 60, who was caught entering her apartment shortly before authorities swooped in at 5:20 PM.

The Vice Squad had been systematically to gather evidence prior to the warrant's execution, which led them to this prime suspect. According to a Worcester Police Department release, their search yielded not only illegal drugs, but also the packaging materials, which underscores the possibility of a well-oiled distribution ring. Damico now faces serious charges, including trafficking and possession with intent to distribute.

Also netted in the operation were two other individuals, Ulysses Stewart, 47, and Anne Leonard, 34. Imported into this narrative were their outstanding warrants, though no direct link to the drug findings at Damico’s apartment has been specified. Nevertheless, their arrest added to the heft of the day's law enforcement victories.

As the community digest these unfolding events, the charges against Damico—specifically trafficking in a Class B substance 35-99 grams (amphetamine), possession of a Class B substance with intent to distribute (cocaine) and possession of a Class E substance with intent to distribute—are weights heavy enough to hold her into account, until the judicial process can thoroughly to sift through the evidence. Stewart and Leonard, caught in the dragnet, find themselves now accountable for past allegations.

The Worcester Police Department remains tight-lipped on the operation's details or any ongoing investigations that might be connected. Nonetheless, the success of this bust shines a revealing light on the clandestine trade that hides in the corners of Worcester streets, showing the department’s ongoing commitment to root out the scourge of drugs in the community.
