18 Arrests Made In National Drug Ring Bust
Over 14 ounces of cocaine, over 60 grams of marijuana, more then $25,000 in cash, 4 guns and 18 arrests were made in a coordinated pre-dawn raid that shut down a major drug distribution ring that shipped West Coast narcotics to sellers in New Jersey and Delaware. Additionally, three vehicles valued at $50,000 were seized. Police believe the money allegedly used to purchase these vehicles was derived from proceeds of criminal activity and used in the organization’s criminal enterprise.
The multi-state task force executed the search warrants simultaneously at about 5:00 am. Officials indicated that 13 arrests were made in Salem County, three additional arrests, including the suspected ringleader of the operation, were made in Delaware while two additional suspects were apprehended in California. The operation was the culmination of a six-month investigation of local and federal agents that involved drug crime agencies in New Jersey, California, and Delaware.
