Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer says two people are facing charges following an investigation into the distribution of drugs in the central part of the state.

Officials say, "this cooperative, multi-agency investigation identified a residence in Bordentown, as well as a residence in Cream Ridge occupied by Sanine Brosseau, 44, as being utilized by Shaun Crawford, 36, of Trenton, to store and distribute illegal narcotics."

According to Billhimer's office, on July 27th, detectives with numerous law enforcement agencies began surveilling those two homes. When Crawford left the home in Cream Ridge, he was followed into Manchester Township where he was taken into custody without incident.

Detectives subsequently executed court-authorized search warrants on both the Bordentown and Cream Ridge residences. As a result, law enforcement seized – in combination from both residences - approximately nine ounces of methamphetamine, 6,550 wax folds of heroin, six ounces of cocaine and crack cocaine, two handguns, and $3,000 in United States Currency.

Brosseau was taken into custody at the home in Cream Ridge.
