Members of the Martha’s Vineyard Drug Task Force arrested a father and son in Vineyard Haven Wednesday on drug charges related to heroin distribution, police said.

According to Oak Bluffs police, Adam L. Robinson, 35, and his father, David B. Robinson, 59, were arrested after the task force executed a search warrant at 83 North William street in Vineyard Haven on Wednesday evening.

Police said Adam Robinson, also known as Turtle, was the target of a lengthy investigation into the distribution of heroin. The search warrant resulted in the seizure of several bundles of paper folds that contained a substance believe to be heroin, police said, and the type of packaging is consistent with how drugs are packaged for distribution. Scales commonly used to weigh drugs for distribution were also found, according to police.

Police said the Tisbury fire department was called to the scene to assist with opening safes found in the residence. One of the safes allegedly contained bundles of paper folds believed to contain heroin.

Both men were arrested and charged with possession of heroin with the intent to distribute, drug violation in a school zone, and conspiracy to violate drug laws. Police said that during booking at the Edgartown house of correction, police located paper folds containing a substance believed to be heroin on David Robinson’s person.

Adam Robinson was arrested by Boston police in Mattapan last month and charged with trafficking a class A drug (heroin), possession with intent to distribute a class B drug (cocaine), class C and class E drugs, and conspiracy to violate drug laws.

Both men are scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Edgartown district court.
