Two New Bedford men have been arrested after they were caught allegedly smuggling massive amounts of cocaine from Puerto Rico — with the drugs hidden in Pokémon art cases.
New Bedford Police were alerted to a ShotSpotter activation in the area of Acushnet Avenue and Russell Street, and officers found evidence of shots fired.
Mass DPH has notified the New Bedford Health Department of a skunk that has tested positive for rabies in the area of the “Poor Farm" in the city's South End.
Prosecutors say Bruno Lopes and Kevin Rocha entered the building together, and that Rocha pointed a gun at the occupant "with the intent to rob." Rocha ended up dead, and two men are charged.
