More Heroin Found In East Brunswick Traffic Stops, Cops Say

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — Yet again, more East Brunswick traffic stops have resulted in heroin allegedly being found in the cars. East Brunswick police announced the heroin arrests in their latest arrest blotter, released Friday, Dec. 21.

The arrests were in November: On Nov. 25, an East Brunswick police officer observed someone sitting in a car in the parking lot of a closed business off Rt. 18 (which business was unspecified). When the officer stopped to talk to the driver, Jason Heinowitz, 30, of Tinton Falls, the officer said he noticed drug paraphernalia consistent with heroin in plain view.

A search of the car resulted in 47 wax folds of heroin being found on Heinowitz, police said.

Prior to that, on Nov. 4, East Brunswick police stopped a car for expired registration. The front-seat passenger, George Wells, 51, of Edison, had active warrants out of Linden and Metuchen, police said. During the course of his arrest, he was found to be in possession of five wax folds of heroin, police said.
