LONDONDERRY — Police expect to make an arrest next week after searching a Gillette Drive home for 14 hours Wednesday (April 23).

Two adults were home when police raided the 9 Gillette Drive residence at 5:45 a.m. but were not taken into custody, as authorities searched for drugs, stolen items and gambling paraphernalia, according a police press release.

According to town assessing records, the one-story Ranch style home has been owned by William and Patricia Johnson for more than 11 years.

With the help of the Southern New Hampshire Special Operations Unit, Londonderry police seized a quantity of drugs, cash, gambling paraphernalia, and numerous stolen construction tools that came from Londonderry and the surrounding area, according to the press release.

The home's residents were cooperative with police and no one was injured during the search.

The investigation is ongoing and includes local and federal police.
