STAMFORD, Conn. — Drugs and guns were seized from a home on Custer Street Wednesday, Lt. Tim Shaw of Stamford Police said.
Two sawed-off shotguns were found in the attic along with a cooler containing 293 grams of marijuana, 15 folds of heroin, a scale and more than $3,000 in cash, Shaw said. Police also found one-half gram of powder cocaine, baggies, cash, and more marijuana elsewhere in the house, the lieutenant said.
Street value is estimated at $1,500 for the marijuana and $300 for the heroin, Shaw said.
Police had information that there were guns in the residence for about six months, and were executing a search warrant on Wednesday, Shaw said.
