Dorchester man accused of receiving cocaine packages in the mail: Boston Police

A 28-year-old Dorchester man is accused of receiving dozens of cocaine packages in the mail from fake addresses in Puerto Rico, Boston Police said on Wednesday.

Marco Clark, 28, of Dorchester, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with trafficking Class B drugs — more than 200 grams of cocaine, according to police.

Boston police officers, U.S. Postal Service inspectors and Massachusetts State Police detectives on Tuesday at 4:10 p.m. executed four search warrants at 19 Paxton St. in Dorchester. The search warrants were for an investigation into the delivery of cocaine via the U.S. Postal Service.

Police ended up seizing six kilograms of cocaine, about a pound of marijuana, and more than $9,300 in cash.

Clark is accused of receiving 29 packages from fictitious addresses in Puerto Rico. The packages were delivered to addresses that Clark has ties to in Boston, police said.

Police conducted surveillance investigations, during which Clark was seen retrieving these packages and then returning back to 10 Paxton St.

Clark is expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.
