Let's bring you over to Lawrence Township, New Jersey where 4 men are behind bars after police discovered a street value of $500,000 worth of cocaine.

This all went down at the Motel 6 over in Mercer County, on Route 1. Detectives got a search warrant, after doing a month-long investigation said Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri.

They were working off a tip from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) about the cocaine and raided the first-floor room. That is where they found 1 out of the 4 suspects and 11.2 pounds of cocaine,  according to officials. You can get more information on this story by clicking right HERE.

$500,000 Worth Of Cocaine Was Discovered And Who Was Arrested

After the raid, police arrested William Adrover Rodriguez, 38, of Galloway Ohio, and charged him with a bunch of first-degree drug offenses. Not too far away, police caught up with his 3 other drug buddies, and they were placed in handcuffs.

They were Jamie Acevedo Correa 42, of Cape May County, Manuel Castro Velazquez, 46 of Trenton, and Elvin Perez Medina, 34 of Puerto Rico. They are each being charged with second-degree conspiracy.

This was a huge bust and also had a bunch of law enforcement was involved with the investigation. You know you're in some serious trouble when all these police come busting in your door. These boys had the Ewing, Hamilton, Lawrence, and Trenton police also the FBI and DEA all stepped in to help out The Mercer County Narcotics Task Force.  All 4 men are being detained pending trial.

So in conclusion, I would like to thank the police and all the law enforcement involved for getting that amount of drugs off the street and keeping the streets safe and a lot cleaner.
