Following a three month-long multijurisdictional narcotics investigation involving the Revere Police Special Investigation Unit, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department and Everett and Chelsea Police, two Revere men were arrested on several charges, including Trafficking and Distribution of Drugs.

Two separate search warrants were executed in Revere last Friday – with the assistance of North Metro SWAT, the Malden Special Operations Unit and Revere Police Patrol – seizing an illegally possessed firearm, over 500 grams of fentanyl, 2,716 grams of cocaine and crack cocaine, 28 grams of methamphetamine, two grams of ketamine, ammunition and over 70,000 in cash and other property items. Reportedly, Kerlin Aubourg, 36, faces charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition without a license, trafficking drugs and distribution of drugs; Eric Paolucci, 54, faces charges of trafficking drugs and distribution of drugs.

“The Revere Police Special Investigation Unit was created to disrupt and reduce violent incidents in the city,” Police Chief David Callahan said. “They have been exceptionally successful in identifying the perpetrators, seizing firearms and arresting those who mean harm to the people in our community.”

“Today, we and our other Law Enforcement partners reinforce our resolve to address the supply side of this public health crisis.”

Aubourg and Paolucci were being held in Suffolk County’s Nashua Street Jail pending arraignment in Chelsea District Court on Monday, July 15.
