The Regional Community Enhancement Task Force and Groton Police assisted in the arrest of a 27-year-old man on heroin charges.
The Stonington, Norwich, and Willimantic Police Departments, with assistance from the Regional Community Enhancement Task Force, arrested Justin A. Graham, 27, of 118 South St., Willimantic, with the following:

The task force is comprised of detectives and officers from southeastern Connecticut, formed to combat the heroin/ drug epidemic in the area and improve the quality of life for citizens.
