State Police stopped a car with a bogus license plate on Route 80 in Allamuchy Township on Sunday, May 1, Warren County Prosecutor James L. Pfeiffer said in a Monday release.
A follow-up investigation and search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 309 heroin bricks with an approximate value of $75,500, Pfeiffer said.
Natanael Ramirez Reyes and Edward A. Rodriguez Veras, both of the Bronx, were arrested and charged with first-degree possession with intent to distribute, as well as other drug offenses, authorities said.
Veras was also charged with obstruction, and Reyes with showing a false government document.
Both suspects were being held in the Warren County Correctional Center pending detention motions.
