A Randolph man, London Cohen, pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston to cocaine trafficking and firearm charges, following a series of arrests targeting gangs in the Brockton and Randolph areas.
Cohen, 37, pleaded guilty on June 15, 2026, to one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and one count of possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy has scheduled his sentencing for September 29, 2026.
His arrest on December 17, 2025, occurred after authorities executed search warrants at numerous residences and stash houses associated with the Brockton-based Harvard Street Gang and its Randolph affiliates. During a search of Cohen’s residence, three handguns and ammunition were found in a bathroom trash can.
Elsewhere in his residence, controlled substances including cocaine, fentanyl, MDMA, and marijuana were recovered. The basement living room also contained items commonly used in large-scale drug trafficking, such as a kilogram press device, a respirator mask, digital scales, plastic bags, and bottles of cutting powder. The charges carry significant potential penalties, including up to 20 years in prison for cocaine distribution and a mandatory minimum of five years for firearm possession, consecutive to any other sentence.
