Boston Blotter: Back Bay Drug Bust

-- Cops found an alleged "mother lode" of drugs in the Boylston St. apartment of Taghi Tajgardoun, a 28-year-old who now faces charges that he was the kingpin of a massive drug trafficking operation. Authorities say that they seized $90,000 worth of marijuana, $10,000 worth of cocaine, $25,000 cash, and four Iranian passports when they raided Tajgardoun's home. Among Tajgardoun's more legitimate businesses: real estate. Shocking. Police say that they began to suspect Tajgardoun when he allegedly received a package of weed from California through the U.S. mail. [Herald]
