HOLYOKE – City, state and federal authorities did a sweep in the South Holyoke and Churchill neighborhoods Friday and arrested 24 people on drug and motor vehicle charges, police said.
Fifteen to 20 officers from various agencies in six to seven cars participated in the hours-long sweep, Sgt. Philip J. McKay said.
The sweep ended at 8 p.m. and police were still booking suspects so names of those arrested were unavailable, he said.
Eight or nine of the arrests were for drug violations and others were for outstanding motor vehicle warrants, he said.
