Braintree police officials released the audit’s findings on Wednesday and stated that the inquiry looked at evidence going back to 1999. What was found was astonishing: heat-sealed drug bags torn or cut open, bags of cash emptied, and the vanishing of at least 60 guns, including semiautomatic rifles.
Officials said a total of 4,709 pieces of narcotics evidence can not be accounted for and that an additional 38 pieces had been compromised. Most of the missing drug evidence is “bags of cocaine,” they said.’
