BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (WTNH) — Two people are facing charges after police seized large amounts of drugs, cash and ammunition from their Bridgeport home during a drug raid.
Police began investigating at 109 George Street after an informant let them know that Darius Gamble was trafficking cocaine and other drugs from the house.
Officers were able to execute a warrant to search the home after finding that Gamble also possessed several firearms.
“We set up surveillance on him, watched him for a number of days, tracking his location and his deliveries and his contacts,” said Lt. Charles Johnson of the Bridgeport Police Department.
Gamble and his girlfriend, Vivian Rodriguez, were arrested when police raided the home. Their baby girl was taken to Bridgeport Hospital and is now in DCF custody.
Officers say they found more than $42,000 cash, 133 grams of crack-cocaine, 410 grams of marijuana, anabolic steroids, prescription medications, scales and assorted ammunition. Police also seized a Porsche SUV, BMW sedan and two flat screen televisions from the home. They found the marijuana and the cash in the baby’s bedroom.
Both Gamble and Rodriguez are facing charges for possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of narcotics with intent to sell within 1500 feet of a school, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, operating a drug factory, risk of injury to a minor and several others.
Gamble and Rodriguez are now out on bond.
