“The warrant was to search for firearms, ammunition, and documents showing occupancy and control of apartment 5. The target of the warrant was Lloyd Price,” Det. Hurton said.
According to police, Lloyd Price, 58, is a resident of 58 Negus Street, Apt. 5, Webster, MA. Court documents indicate Price is married and was born in Worcester, MA.
According to Det. Hurton, the Special Weapons and Tactics team of the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (CEMLEC SWAT) executed the search warrant at approximately 6:02 a.m. on Monday, March 24, 2025.
“CEMLEC SWAT conducted the warrant service by surrounding the residence and commanding the occupants of apartment 5 to exit,” Det. Hurton said. “Lloyd Price and Alan Hamel complied with the commands. There was no one else inside of the apartment.”
