Half-Kilo Of Heroin Seized In Falls Twp.

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — Detectives investigating drug trafficking in Bucks County seized 500 grams of suspected heroin from a man in Falls Township on Friday.

Adelso D. Delarosa-Ramos, 53, of Elizabeth, N.J., was arrested in possession of a package containing suspected drugs after a search of his vehicle.

He is charged with possession with intent to deliver heroin and possession of a controlled substance. Detectives located the suspected drugs during a traffic stop on Rt. 1 South near Woolston Drive.

A Middletown Township K-9 trained to find narcotics sniffed out the drugs inside the Subaru that Delarosa-Ramos was driving, authorities say. Investigators found the package, weighing about 500 grams, hidden behind the driver's seat, according to the Bucks County District Attorney's office.

A field test of the package tested positive for heroin, prosecutors say.

As a result of the same investigation, police have now seized some 700 grams of suspected heroin — the equivalent of more than 22,000 individual bags of the drug.

Delarosa-Ramos was arraigned before District Judge Michael J. Petrucci, who set bail at 10% of $250,000. He was still behind bars at the Bucks County Correctional Facility on Saturday.
