By Globe Staff

Boston Police discovered a small arsenal when they raided a Dorchester apartment and arrested a 36-year-old man on gun and drug possession charges.

Police searched the Adams Street home – located around the corner from Area C-11 on Gibson Street – with the help of a search warrant on Wednesday.

Police found three firearms: a Glock 9mm handgun, a Smith and Wesson .45-caliber handgun, and a Cobray 9mm firearm with an obliterated serial number. Police also recovered 161 rounds of various types of ammunition, a large capacity magazine loaded with 30 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and two bullet resistant vests.

Police also found $600 in cash, 58 grams of cocaine, some marijuana and a digital scale. They also found a safe, which had held some of the guns, drugs, and cash that police reported finding inside the apartment.

Police arrested Bobby Jackson and charged him with multiple counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and trafficking in a Class B drug, the cocaine. Jackson was scheduled to be arraigned today in Dorchester Municipal Court.
