Police said 16 kilograms of cocaine and $190,750 were seized as part of a Boston-area drug trafficking investigation. A 52-year-old man was also arrested in connection with the drug bust Monday, according to Massachusetts State Police spokesperson Dave Procopio. Humberto 'Pancho' Mesa-Gomez, 52, was taken into custody and charged with trafficking a Class B narcotic, over 200 grams, in connection with the drug bust. Earlier in 2023, Massachusetts State Troopers assigned to the State Police Detective Unit for Suffolk County District began investigating a drug trafficking organization operating in the Boston area, officials stated.
