A local man was arrested on Thursday after investigators found evidence of a drug factory, along with illegal narcotics and a firearm, at a Mercier Avenue address, according to a Bristol Police report yesterday.

The arrest of Jorge Concepcion was the result of a Bristol Police Department Narcotic Enforcement Team (NET) investigation that began after numerous complaints from the community.

NET obtained two arrest warrants for Jorge Concepcion, one for illegal sale of narcotics and another for a search warrant for 21 Mercier Avenue.

On Thursday, May 9, NET along with the Bristol Patrol Division executed a search and seizure warrant at the Mercier Avenue address, where investigators found evidence of a drug factory, illegal narcotics and the firearm.
