Somerville Police Detectives and Uniformed Officers closed in on and arrested three alleged drug dealers Friday afternoon. The suspects were observed walking down Beacon Street carrying a laptop and other items by undercover officers, which arose suspicions. The undercover officers followed the suspects, thinking they might be linked to recent break-ins in the area. The suspects turned onto Hawkins Street and were observed by the undercover officers conducting a hand-to-hand drug transaction, which led to the suspects arrest.
