Search Produces Suboxone, Stun Gun Disguised As Flashlight: WPD

WORCESTER, MA—A Worcester man is facing several weapons and drug charges after a search of his house.

WPD's Vice Squad on Wednesday, Sept. 19, around 7 a.m., searched an address on Mott Street in Worcester, naming the target as Edwin Saavedra, 42, who lives there. Police surveyed undercover the property for several days prior, and noticed many people coming to that address for short visits and then leaving. Officers also saw many visit a nearby garage and conduct what they believe to be street level drug transactions inside the garage or out in front.

Police during a search found a plastic case that contained 77 rounds of .40 caliber ammunition, a Remington box that contained 9 mm ammunition, an unloaded 15 round large capacity handgun magazine, a large amount of packaging materials, two digital scales, cutting agents, two sifters and a grinder, seven suboxone strips and a stun gun that was disguised as a flashlight. Saavedra-Ahorrio does not possess an FID card or a LTC.

Saavedra-Ahorrio was placed under arrest and charged with Possession of a Large Capacity Feeding Device, Possession of a Firearm (stun gun) without an FID Card, Possession of Ammunition without an FID Card, a Firearm Violation with 1 Prior Violent of Drug Crime Conviction, and Possession of Class B Substance.

Saavedra-Ahorrio is currently being held at police headquarters on $15,040 cash bail and will be arraigned at the Worcester County District Courthouse on Thursday, Sept.20.
