A home in Brick Township’s Baywood section was being used for frequent drug activity, neighbors told police, prompting the department’s elite Street Crimes Unit to launch an investigation and ultimately execute a search warrant at the home.

Information gleaned during the investigation of the house on Baywood Boulevard led to the issuance of a search warrant for the residence, which was executed Wednesday night, Aug. 26, said Sgt. Jim Kelly. The warrant execution resulted in the arrest of six people for drugs and paraphernalia as well as the primary resident, Michelle Lanzieri, 54, being charged with maintaining a nuisance.
