New Hampshire State Police Narcotics Investigations Unit (NIU) busted four alleged drug dealers in Claremont, New Hampshire, last month, following months of investigation into drug crime in the area.

State police revealed the arrests in two separate press releases, both published on Thursday.

The NIU investigation into fentanyl sales in Claremont led police to Bradley Leblanc, 37, and Chasity Forman, 48, both of Claremont.

State police, in conjunction with the local police department and the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Drug Task Force (DTF), arrested Leblanc and Forman on November 9 and seized over 60 grams of fentanyl, two grams of methamphetamine, and assorted narcotic pills.

LeBlanc faces three counts of selling of a controlled drug and one count of conspiracy to sell controlled drugs, while Forman faces just the conspiracy charges.

Each of the counts for Leblanc and Forman is a subsequent offense.

They have been released on personal recognizance bail with orders to appear in court on January 13.

The second investigation led to the arrest of Joshua Poirier, 33, on November 25, and Barbara Bellacicco, 33, both of Claremont.

Poirier faces three counts of conspiring to sell a controlled substance and one count of selling a controlled substance.

Bellacicco faces three counts of conspiring to sell a controlled substance.

Officers seized five grams of a substance they believed to be either heroin or fentanyl, and 18 grams of crack cocaine.

Both were released on personal recognizance bail.

Poirier is set to appear in court on January 13, and Bellacicco is scheduled to appear on February 10.

The release did not make it clear if the two groups of alleged drug dealers were related or if they were caught by the same investigation.

    You should think of these guys as the mom and pop of illegal drug stores soon to be run out of town by the new drug supplier super store B&M (biden-mills). These new mexican suppliers will be cheaper than walmart and faster than amazon so don’t feel bad for these poor idiots, it’s just liberal progress.

    Hopefully these critters don’t/didn’t breed.

    What I find interesting is these folks are not young kids! They are middle age and most likely been in the drug world for some time

    Being released without having to pony up a penny is part of the problem with these kinds of arrests. Do they really think these people are going to willingly appear at their court hearings without the threat of losing $$$$ that they would’ve had to pay for bail? They’re probably using their bail money to buy more drugs to replace those that were confiscated!

    Selling or providing Fentanyl should be classified as attempted murder.Our children are dying By the thousands.
