NEWARK — Police seized nearly 3,000 doses of heroin and arrested four people while investigating a drug ring that was ferrying narcotics from Newark into Ocean County, where overdoses claimed 107 lives in 2013.
On Wednesday, detectives with the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office pulled over a 2009 Nissan Rogue around 4 p.m. on Route 9 near Berkeley Township, where they seized 2,000 doses of heroin, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato. Eslin Santos, 27, of Newark, and Manuel Valentin, 25, of Kearny, were arrested and charged with multiple drug offenses.
An hour later, detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office joined a mix of New Jersey State Troopers, Essex County Prosecutor's Office investigators and Newark police officers at a home on Emmet Street in Newark, Coronato said. Inside, they found 800 doses of heroin and materials used in the packaging and distribution of narcotics, according to Coronato.
Idia Torres, 36, and Alicia Ruddy, 23, both of Newark, were charged with drug offenses.
"Drug dealers importing their deadly product from jurisdictions outside of our county are targeting Ocean County residents for profit," Coronato said in a statement. "To stop the high number of overdose deaths, we must stem this flow of illegal narcotics."
New Jersey has been battling a heroin epidemic for years, as drug users in their late teens and early 20s have graduated from painkillers to heroin, which is cheaper and more readily available. The number of people ages 18 to 25 admitted to treatment programs for heroin addiction statewide has increased significantly in the past three years.
