LOWELL — Three people were arrested after Lowell police with a SWAT team conducted a drug raid on a home in the Back Central neighborhood early Thursday morning.

Police and about 30 SWAT team members descended on 39 Whipple St., third floor, at 7:15 a.m. to serve warrants in connection with a drug investigation, according to reports.

The SWAT team was called in to help because one of the suspects was out on bail in a firearms case and there were concerns there could be a firearm in the home, according to police. No weapon was found.

During the search baggies containing what is believed to be cocaine, Oxycodone pills, plastic sandwich bags, a digital scale, and $714 were seized, according to Lowell police spokesman Capt. Kelly Richardson.

Arrested and charged with possession of a Class B drug, cocaine, and possession with a Class B drug with intent to distribute were Esteban Lugo, 27, Abigail Rivera, 21 and Joshua Rivera, 19, all of 39 Whipple St. third floor, were charged with possession of a Class B drug and possession of a Class B drug with intent to distribute, Richardson said.

Also present was Jamie Rodriquez of 209 Perry St., Lowell, who was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

Police requested an ambulance to transport several children home at the time of the raid to the hospital to be evaluated, according to scanner reports. Police are contacting the state Department of Children and Family Services, according to the police scanner reports.
