Members of the Paterson Narcotics Division also seized $568 in suspected proceeds during the simultaneous Monday afternoon strikes, Police Director Jerry Speziale said.

The primary arrests involved two men with criminal histories: Filiberto Feliciano, 65, who lives in one of the Cedar Street homes, and Carlos Torres, 43, of Summer Street.

Both were charged with drug and weapons offenses after detectives found a quarter-pound of raw heroin, 75 folds of the drug and 32 baggies of cocaine, as well as the Remington shotgun, 14 .22-caliber rounds of ammunition and three shotgun shells, Speziale said.

Also arrested were area visitors from Hasbrouck Heights, Basking Ridge, Flanders, and Paterson -- each of whom Speziale said had purchased several bags of heroin.
