Arrested on Sunday at the Gulf gas station on North Middletown Road were Conor Gorman, 27, of Elmsford, and Matthew Capuano, 28, of Nyack, police said.

Gorman, who police said had pills and packets of what was believed to be heroin was charged with third-, fourth- and seventh-degree possession of a controlled substance.

Capuano was charged with third- and fourth-degree possession of a controlled substance, police said.

Police said a search of the area where the two were “interacting” turned up more packets of what was believed to be heroin.

They were to appear in court on Friday, Sept. 9.
