On March 6, 2021, Westford Detectives received numerous anonymous tips reporting that Mark Garcia was allegedly dealing narcotics out of his residence located on Cold Spring Road in Westford. After a month’s long investigation, detectives from the Westford Police Department, in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), executed a search warrant on April 7, 2021, at the residence of Mark Garcia as well as the car that was allegedly known to be regularly used by Mr. Garcia. During the execution of this search warrant, investigators found a scale and individual 'deal bags' consistent with drug transactions. Narcotics, cash and other items were seized, including $31,876 cash, one firearm, 109 grams of Cocaine, 4 pounds of Marijuana, 770 tabs of LSD, two bottles of Codeine, 113 grams of THC edibles, 10 grams of Ketamine, 78 grams of MDMA, 5 Oxycodone pills, 41 grams of crushed Amphetamine, six pill bottles full of Amphetamine pills and 415 grams of Methamphetamine. Of the 415 grams of Methamphetamine, approximately 387 grams were clandestinely pressed to resemble trademark “Adderall” pills. These clandestinely pressed Methamphetamine pills are an emergence in the Westford area.

These charges are allegations and the defendant is innocent until proven guilty.
