Four ‘youthful offenders’ from Massachusetts were taken into custody in a multi-agency raid Sunday, March 23 after Montpelier police found a male covered with blood on Berlin Street, the Montpelier Police Department said on March 24 Facebook post. 

At about 5 AM, MPD responded to a report of ‘a distressed male covered in blood on Berlin Street” who said he had fled from an apartment at 21 Hebert Road after being threatened with a firearm by several people.

Fearing for his safety, the victim escaped through a window, sustaining injuries in the process.

Officers later watched the home as the Berlin Police Department conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that had visited the location. The occupants admitted to purchasing drugs from the apartment and the operator was taken into custody for suspicion of DUI-Drugs.

Based on the ongoing investigation, MPD requested a search warrant for the residence as evidence suggested possible illegal drug activity, reckless endangerment, and an alleged aggravated assault. 

A Vermont Superior Court Judge granted the warrant which was executed by the Central Vermont Emergency Response Unit with the assistance of officers from MPD, Capitol PD, Berlin PD, and Northfield PD. 

Four youthful offenders from Massachusetts were taken into custody. Two of the youthful offenders were 15 years of age, one was 17 years of age, and one was 18 years of age.

A firearm was seized from the residence as a result of the search warrant.

The investigation is ongoing, MPD said.

  1. Drug dealers don’t need permits to deal drugs in Vermont. Now they are clearly using minors so they can do their business.

    Yet it takes 10 years for Costco to get a permit for some gas pumps.

    Montpelier, here’s your sign.

    • The work of our corporate government: create apathy, create economic have nots, create sickness and create indenture then create criminals of the ones who do not obey the laws of quietly boiling as freedom evaporates. Take all that Efficiency Vermont money and put it into land where the young can build their own howls and steward the land. Thats is asking government to work for the people and not the financial elite demanding control and extraction of the same. Government has ruined our society, it’s up to us to rebuild it,.

  2. The organized criminal element from the southern New England urban crapholes has reduced the age of their operatives to avoid prosecution, meanwhile the demo/prog solons in Montpelier have endeavored to raise the age at which lawbreakers can be held responsible. And liberals wonder why the country as a whole voted the way they did in the interest of self-preservation last November? Meanwhile Vermont continues to act as a criminal and vagrancy magnet and the result is achieving the 8th highest per-capita street drug overdose death rate and 4th in per-capita homelessness of all the states. This is what Vermont’s progressive voters have brought to the Green Mountain State with all of their misguided empathy and ignorance of human nature. A mind saddled with Trump/Tesla Derangement Syndrome is a terrible thing to waste.
