Berlin NJ police arrested two women who allegedly had a large amount of illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, and prescription narcotics, at a local motel.
According to law enforcement, the suspects were caught with the illegal narcotics in a room at the Red Carpet Inn in Berlin, New Jersey.
Berlin NJ detectives went to the motel after learning about illicit drug activity in the area. A Berlin patrol officer stopped a man who had an active warrant and found out that drugs were allegedly being sold out of a room at the nearby motel.
The Berlin Police Department and the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office then conducted a joint investigation and soon got a search warrant for the suspects’ motel room.
During a subsequent search of the room, police officers allegedly found 93 bags of heroin, 35 containers of crack cocaine and powder cocaine, five Xanax pills, and 10 ecstasy pills.
Many of the drugs, including the heroin and the cocaine, had been packaged for distribution, according to Berlin NJ police officers who conducted the search.
The two suspects were placed under arrest and charged with numerous drug offenses, including heroin possession, possession of cocaine, possession of heroin with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, and illegal possession of prescription drugs.
After being arrested and processed, the two suspects were remanded to the Camden County Jail. Both suspects will have to appear in Camden County Superior Court at a later date to answer the criminal charges against them.
