Police found nearly 7 pounds of heroin, 3 ounces of cocaine and drug dealing materials in a home adjacent to a South Jersey high school.
A tip about drug activity led Absecon police to serve a search warrant on a unit at the Clayton Mill Run apartment complex along S. New Road Friday.
In the home, investigators found about 3 kilos (6.6 pounds) of heroin along with "drug paraphernalia associated with the manufacturing, packaging and distribution of controlled dangerous substances," the Absecon Police Department said in a Nixle message.
Police charged Ismael Martinez with a variety of drug dealing charges and placed him in Atlantic County Jail. The 32-year-old Egg Harbor Township man faces extra charges since the alleged drug dealing took place in the school zone of Holy Spirit High School, which is across U.S. Route 9.
