ATTLEBORO - Suspects are to be arraigned this afternoon in what Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter calls a major drug bust in Norton that netted up to 90 pounds of pot and more than $100,000 in cash.

Police seized the drugs and money in a Thursday night drug raid.

Bruna Juliana Santos and Sebastian Pollack, both 26, of 278 Plain St. in Norton, were to be arraigned in Attleboro District Court. They face charges of trafficking marijuana and conspiracy to violate drug laws.

The duo was arrested in the raid about 5 p.m. at their home.

The bust followed a two-month investigation involving Norton police, the district attorney's office and the Northern Bristol County Drug Task Force.
Aside from the cash and marijuana, authorities seized drug packaging materials, scales and literature from the home.

The arrests occurred without incident, Sutter said.

The investigation was led by Trooper Michael Smith, assigned to the district attorney's office, and Norton police Detective Todd Bramwell.

"The success of this operation is a direct result of the strong spirit of cooperation between the local police departments, my state police unit and the prosecutors from the district attorney's office," Sutter said. "Through this kind of cooperation and information sharing, we are making a major dent in the illegal drug trade in Bristol County."

A complete report will appear Saturday in The Sun Chronicle.
