CONCORD — Local, state and federal law enforcement officers arrested 151 people statewide, including four in Laconia, in a drug sweep that also netted 551 grams of heroin and fentanyl, 24 weapons and $37,000 in cash.

State Police Col. Christopher Wagner said Friday the sweep culminated a cooperative effort lasting several months, involving nearly 90 agencies.

The goal was to disrupt trafficking activities involving opioids and other drugs.

“I want anyone in New Hampshire who is engaging in the selling and trafficking of narcotics to know that you are not welcome in our state and you will be arrested,” Wagner said.

In addition to the four people arrested in Laconia, another 21 local people were being sought on felony drug warrants.

Those arrested in Laconia were:

• Mindy L. Bolduc, 36, 81 Pine St., No. 3, on a charge of possession of a narcotic drug. She was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail.

• Sarah Dearborn, 32, 63 Merrimac St., on a charge of sale of a narcotic drug. She was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail.

• Kenneth M. Miner, 33, 187 Country Club Road, Laconia, on a charge of possession of a narcotic drug. He was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail.
