Investigators seized a pot of pound and “edible cakes” containing marijuana and hash oil when they arrested Germaine “Smooth” Zayas, 31, yesterday after executing a search warrant at his Madison Avenue apartment, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said this afternoon.

The strike team included members of Molinelli’s Narcotic Task Force, the Hackensack Police Department and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit, he said.

They also seized more than $7,500 in cash and drug paraphernalia following the two-month investigation, the prosecutor said.

Zayas remained held on $150,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail, charged with possession to distribute marijuana and hash oil. He is due for a first appearance in Central Municipal Court in Hackensack on Monday.
