Tipster Lead to the Arrest of Two in Elmwood Park for Possessing Heroin

An anonymous tipster helped the Elmwood Park police arrest and charge two twenty-five year old Bergen County residents with various drug offenses. From the initial reports, it appears that the Elmwood Park, New Jersey police stopped the Defendant’s vehicle based on the tip and when they approached the vehicle they quickly determined that the Defendant’s were under the influence of some type of narcotic. A further inquiry revealed ten (10) bags of heroin, five (5) bags of crack cocaine and two (2) crack pipes. The Defendant’s were both charged with one count of possession of heroin in the third degree, one count of possession of crack cocaine in the third degree and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia in the fourth degree.
