Nearly $10,000 and several bags of cocaine are netted, and two men are arrested after New Bedford Police raid an apartment.

Detective Captain Steve Vicente tells WBSM News officers carried out a search warrant at 600 Cottage street Monday evening, and found $9,967 in cash and four bags of cocaine in the apartment.

Police arrested 64-year-old Carlos Lopez and his son, 35-year-old Carlos Baptista, both of 157 Hunter Street. They are both charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
