One arrested, 6 to face charges in major drug seizure

Canton police, along with the county MetroLEC team of emergency security forces, seized a gun and sizeable amounts of heroin and marijuana at a Weathervane Road residence early Friday morning, February 10.

Police arrested John Lozzi, 30, of Stoughton, and charged him with possession of a firearm (22-caliber gun) without an FID card and possession to distribute a class B substance.

Police intend to serve complaints to six others who were at the Weathervane residence at the time of the seizure. Five of the individuals are listed as residents of the home, including Ronald Lozzi, 51, who faces charges of being present where heroin is kept and possession to distribute a class B substance; and Debra Foundas, 54, who faces charges of being present where heroin is kept and possession of heroin. Four others, ages 25, 25, 19 and 18, also face drug possession charges.

Police Lt. Helena Findlen said the seizure and arrests concluded an ongoing investigation that involved the assistance and cooperation of other police departments, detective bureaus, and the Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council. Lt. Findlen said police obtained a warrant to search the house which netted 42 pieces of evidence. “It was a great job of police work by everyone involved in the police investigation. It was a great coordinated effort,” she said.
