NEWARK -- Bullets, drugs, and money. That's what Newark police officers say they found in the bust of an alleged storefront drug operation.
According to a release from the Newark police department, a tip about drug trafficking in the area led Special Enforcement Bureau detectives to a business at 103 Maple Avenue in Newark. While investigating, they found 255 glassine envelopes of heroin, a bag of marijuana, more than 200 rounds of ammunition, and more than $10,500, police said in the release Sunday. Police also witnessed a drug deal outside the store, they said.
Police said they arrested four people in connection to the bust: Furqar Ross, 29, Tanya Jones, 45, and Aljaneer Waller, 38, all of Newark, on possession charges, and Edward Ward, 30, of Newark, who was allegedly seen buying marijuana.
Authorities did not specify which storefront the drug business allegedly operated out of.
An investigation into the incident is continuing, police said.
