Two vehicles traveling together were stopped by township detectives near the Glenpointe complex just off the New Jersey Turnpike during a drug investigation, Teaneck Police Chief Andrew McGurr said.
The 6½ pounds of coke had an estimated street value of about $60,000, the chief said.
Taken into custody, he said, were Elias Reyes-Diaz, 42, Nelson Ramos-Claudio, 29, and Osvaldo Reyes-Jimenez, 28, all of Reading, PA, and Gastonia, NC residents Ramon Pumarol-Rodriguez, 47, and Pedro Garcia-Crispin, 34.
Ramos-Claudio was released and the rest were sent to the Bergen County Jail on drug dealing charges.
Reyes-Diaz and Garcia-Crispin were released that same day. Reyes-Jiminez was released five days later.
ICE took custody late last week of Pumarol-Rodriguez, a Dominican national, for possible deportation, records show.
