Hyannis — Police entered a home in the West Main Street area after receiving a tip that adults were inside shooting up heroin with three small children present.
At first the individuals inside would not answer the door… and the conditions inside the house were initially described as “deplorable.”
But after finally entering the home police did not find evidence of heroin use… and the home’s condition, although not spotless, did not warrant immediate police action.
Two separate surprised neighbors told Hyannis News they have not seen or suspected drug use at that particular residence…
The Department of Children and Families was notified and the incident remains under investigation.
