According to reports, the authorities have been focusing on the amount of illicit drugs they believe are being sold on the streets. The Holyoke Police Narcotics Task Force, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit West, Massachusetts State Police S.A.F.E. Task Force, and Hampden County District Attorney’s Narcotics Task Force teamed up and planned a sting in the open-air drug market spots in Holyoke.

When agents began the operation on June 2, they successfully arrested five individuals they believed were involved. The first two, identified as local men ages 33 and 30, were allegedly seen making what looked like drug sales transactions on a street in the center of downtown.

On December 5, an 11-year-old from LaPlace who is enrolled at East John Preparatory Academy left home with a bag of gummy candies that contained THC.
