Authorities recovered 250 bags of heroin after a no-knock search warrant at the home of two Lacey Township brothers, Police Chief David A. Paprota said.

Lacey police, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office and members of the Ocean County Regional SWAT team entered the Clairemore Avenue home of Joseph and Casey Sinopoli at 10 p.m. on March 31. They also found marijuana and drug paraphernalia, the chief said.

Both men were charged with possession of heroin and possession of heroin under half an ounce with intent to distribute, Paprota said.

They were both released on their own recognizance, the chief said.
