While conducting surveillance, detectives observed four individuals taking part in suspected drug transactions and subsequently stopped and detained them for investigative purposes. Detectives learned that three of the four individuals, one 15-year-old and two 16-year-old males, were in possession of handguns. The fourth male, Michael Mack, 30, of Atlantic City, was found in possession of drugs, police said.
In total, detectives recovered two Glock 40 caliber handguns and a Taurus 9mm handgun, along with approximately 20 grams of cocaine, numerous Alprazolam pills, and nearly $400 believed to be proceeds of drug sales.
