Early Monday morning, Boston drug agents, along with the FBI and other task forces, launched an operation against a local drug ring, discovering illegal drugs and cash.
A narcotics investigation concluded at 7:48 a.m., with three search warrants executed at 117 Thompson Street in Hyde Park.
According to a statement from the Boston Police Department, the police seized various substances, including fentanyl, crack cocaine, and many tablets.

Following the raid, two persons face serious charges.
The defendants, Maurice Fagan, 51, of Chelsea, and Alexandr Lavrishin, 46, of Hyde Park, were detained on charges of narcotics trafficking and possession with the intent to distribute.
They will face the judicial system in the West Roxbury District Court.
