Police in Toms River say they recovered 27 bricks of heroin – enough for 1,356 doses – after the department’s Special Enforcement Team conducted a traffic stop on a suspicious vehicle that had been driving around the township.
The incident occurred June 25, said police spokesman Ralph Stocco, and was released publicly Thursday. After they stopped the suspicious vehicle, police stopped a Nissan Altima in the township’s downtown area in which they found the heroin, Stocco said.
The street value of the 27 bricks is about $13,000, according to police.
