Seven people were arrested and charged with drug crimes Thursday at a suspected Concord drug den where a person recently died of an overdose.
Concord police and a special operations unit searched the 52 Concord St. apartment in the early morning hours while executing warrants thatย Lt. Sean Ford said were โthe result of a lengthy drug investigation.โ
In recent months, police responded to several callsย at the residence, including one opioid-related death,ย Ford said.
Whenย the search was over, the property owner โboarded the residence and secured it in an attempt to prevent any re-occupancy and similar behavior,โ Ford said.
Three people were charged with selling drugs.

Alex Mahan, 23, of Concord is accused of two counts of selling fentanyl.
