NASHUA, NH — Two Cedar Street residents were arrested last weekend on numerous charges after police reportedly found them sleeping inside a vehicle which had its engine running. Janelle Warren, 23, and Eric Wyatt, 30, had been under investigation by the department's narcotics intelligence division since April as part of cocaine sales incidents, according to Lt. Daniel Mederos of the Nashua Police Department. On Saturday, officers were requested to a city street "for a check conditions involving two subjects sleeping in an idling vehicle that was parked on a city street," he noted.

"Warren and Wyatt were found to be the occupants of the vehicle," Mederos stated.

Both Warren and Wyatt were taken into custody while other officers requested a search warrant of the vehicle. During the search, Mederos alleged that heroin and pills were found.
