22 Pounds of Marijuana Discovered at North Haven Distribution Center

North Haven Police report that twenty-two pounds of marijuana were discovered in a local distribution center last Friday morning.

Zeus, the Department's K9 dog, alerted Officer James Brennan to two packages being sent to a Meriden address during a narcotics sweep of the facility. The pot was found inside the containers.

The estimated street value of twenty-two pounds of marijuana is $20,000.

Following the initial search, the NHPD and Connecticut State Police began a followup investigation, executing search warrants in Meriden and New Britain that led to to the seizure of $50,000 in cash, a handgun, and two arrests.

The investigation is ongoing, and the names of the suspects in custody have not yet been released.

Stay tuned for more details as the case unfolds.
