The first stop, around 3 p.m. on Locust Street, led to the arrest of 23-year-old Harold Kemp of Ridgefield on charges of having a bag of heroin and drug paraphernalia, being under the influence of drugs and having drugs in a motor vehicle, Police Chief Michael Foligno said this morning.
Six hours later, police on East 53rd Street stopped and arrested Hussan Anjum, 22, of Mahwah, and 20-year-old Devon Bernhart of Ridgewood, who Foligno said were carrying 30 bags of heroin and a syringe.
Both were charged with possession of both and with being under the influence, the chief said.
Bernhart, who also had an outstanding warrant out of Hawthorne, posted $758 bail and was released, Foligno said.
Kemp and Anjum were each released on court summonses, he said.
