Three men were found to be in possession of crack cocaine and 29 fraudulent credit cards after officers pulled over their speeding vehicle in Farmingdale on Wednesday night, police said.

According to authorities, a 2016 Honda was speeding southbound on Fulton Avenue when officers initiated a traffic stop at 8:30 p.m. and noticed a clear plastic bag on the vehicle’s floor, near the front passenger’s seat, that appeared to contain crack cocaine.

A subsequent investigation revealed the men were also in possession of 29 fraudulent credit cards, police said.

The driver Ryan Stephenson, 26, of Cambria Heights, along with Antonio Aguilera, 24, of Brooklyn, and Jeremy Alba, 22, of S. Ozone Park, were placed under arrest without incident.

Stephenson was charged with 11 counts of second degree possession of a forged instrument, seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and a traffic law infraction.

Aguilera was charged with eight counts of second degree possession of a forged instrument and seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Alba was charged with 10 counts of second degree possession of a forged instrument and seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

All three men will be arraigned Thursday at First District Court in Hempstead.
