Five people have been arrested after police busted an alleged fentanyl trafficking ring operating out of Caribou.
Jose Rosado, 49; Ariel Rosado, 49; Justin Murphy, 41; Andrea Tranthum, 33; and Tyana McLaughlin, 26, all of Caribou, have been charged with aggravated drug trafficking, according to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.
Ariel Rosado, Murphy and Tranthum also face separate charges for violating their probation.
The arrests followed a month-long investigation into drug trafficking out of a Sweden Street home, where police executed a search warrant on May 7.
During a search of the home, police found more than 220 gross grams of fentanyl and a sawed-off 20-gauge shotgun, the MDEA said Thursday.
They were all taken to the Aroostook County Jail in Houlton, where bail was set at $1,000 for McLaughlin and $10,000 for the Rosados, Murphy and Tranthum.
More arrests are expected in this case, according to the MDEA.
