Bucks Co. Police Make $1M Heroin Bust

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Police in Bucks County say they seized more than $1 million worth of heroin in a major drug bust that was completed over the weekend.

Four people were arrested and three kilograms of raw heroin were seized in two related drug busts, according to Bensalem Township Police. The one on Saturday happened in the 2600 block of Lincoln Highway, authorities reported. Police say the heroin was found in a speaker box.

Of the four people arrested in the two busts — Daniel Guillen, Emilio Ornelas-Jacobo, Juan Carlos Villegas-Estudillo and Julissa Gonzalez — three were natives of Mexico, police said.

On Oct. 16, Bensalem Police had conducted a traffic stop on a 2015 Toyota Highlander driving by Gonzalez for an equipment violation. During the stop, police say that officers noticed signs associated with drug trafficking and a canine unit was called to the scene.

The dogs alerted officers to the possibility of drugs while sniffing the Highlander's exterior and a search was conducted, they say. Officers found a kilogram of heroin and Gonzalez was arrested. His bail set at $200,000.

The three men are being held on $1 million bail, according to police.
