Police storm two City of Norwich homes in early morning raid
NORWICH – Police from four different agencies stormed two homes in the City of Norwich Friday morning, taking several people into custody over suspected drug activity.
“Police from the Norwich PD, County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police and Greene PD worked together and entered two residences in the City of Norwich this morning, one at 72 Plymouth Street and another one at 31 Hickok Ave.,” said Norwich Police Chief Joseph Angelino at the scene this morning.
Eyewitnesses said police appeared at the “break of daylight,” at around 6 a.m. and rushed the two homes in full tactical gear, breaking down doors armed with shotguns and pistols.
“They just rolled up all of a sudden and rushed out of their cars. I couldn’t believe it. It was just like what happens in the movies,” said Plymouth Street neighbor Amy Dolittle, who lives next door.
“They came out with their guns drawn and went around to the back door of the house. It all happened really fast,” she said.
Angelino said police have been working in an ongoing investigation and that the target of the raid was suspected drug activity. Police obtained a search warrant and he said they discovered a quantity of crack cocaine and heroine. The Greene PD and Chenango County Sheriff’s Office used their K-9 units to assist in the raid.
Police were also seen removing an unknown number of firearms from one of the residences, which Angelino confirmed belonged to the occupants at Hickok Ave.
The chief also said they had “a number of people in custody.” Police continued to investigate the two scenes Friday morning, and no other information was available as of press time this morning.
