Two New Jersey men arrested with heroin in their shoes
New York authorities reportedly seized seventeen (17) pounds of heroin from two New Jersey men who had hidden the drugs inside the soles of their shoes. New York prosecutors announced Tuesday that the two men were arrested July 25th by the Suffolk County Heroin Task Force. According the police, the two men stashed the powdered heroin in small blocks in the insoles of their shoes. The two men were arrested outside a Melville, New York hotel.
Following the arrest, a lab analysis revealed that the heroin was 85 to 90 percent pure. Police estimate that the 17 pounds seized could have been divided up into a half-million dosages. For additional information on heroin charges in New Jersey, please see my criminal defense and DWI website.
