Parsippany NJ Cocaine Distribution AttorneysParsippany New Jersey police recently busted two men who allegedly imported a large quantity of cocaine from NY to NJ.

According to authorities, New Jersey law enforcement got a tip about a group of individuals importing illegal narcotics into Morris County, NJ. Parsippany police were on the lookout for the suspects and intercepted them as they drove on Route 46 in Parsippany, New Jersey.

Police pulled over the suspects’ car along the highway. A subsequent search of the vehicle allegedly turned up a large amount of cocaine. Police said that the cocaine was hidden in a vehicle compartment.

The cocaine is said to weigh approximately one kilo and has an estimated street value of roughly $36,000.
