ECAUCUS, NJ — This past Saturday, April 9, Secaucus Police, members of the Hudson County Sheriff's Department, plus police dogs, conducted a search of a private home on Lincoln Avenue
Inside the home, police said they found more than 80 folds of suspected heroin, plus other items indicative of illegal drug sales and money believed to be from those heroin sales.
The search warrant and raid came a month-long surveillance and investigation into the home: In March, the Secaucus Police Department’s Anti-Crime Unit received information that heroin was being sold from the home, which is located on the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue, just off County Avenue.
“The Secaucus Police Department is committed to investigating all complaints of vice crimes to better the quality of life for the residents of Secaucus,” Police Chief Dennis Miller said. “I want to thank the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office K-9 for assisting in the execution of this search.”
Before the home was raided by Secaucus police officer, the county sheriff and police K9s, residents Jose Torres-Amaro, 52, and Samantha Enders, 26, both of Secaucus, were charged with possession of heroin with the intent to distribute.
