Chief: Heroin Use, Gangs On Rise In Milton

Marijuana, cocaine are local drugs of choice

MILTON — In the nearly 10 years Chief William Phillips has been with the Milton Police Department, he said he's never seen a heroin-related case. Until 15 months ago.

Since July 2010, Phillips said, he's encountered the drug on three occasions, raising his concern that more may be on the way. He's also come across at least four gangs in recent years.

As a way of educating the public, Phillips invited Det. Jason Pires of the Dover Police Department's drug unit to speak to town council and residents at the Oct. 3 regular meeting.

“I was just trying to educate them on what's coming,” Phillips said. “We've had heroin problems, and things are not going to get better; they're going to get worse.”
