As Brick, New Jersey Police arrive, three people make effort to destroy evidence
Picture the scene late in the film, Goodfella's, and that's kind of what happened at a home in Brick Township where three people found themselves in a lot of trouble and panicked.
Perhaps they heard the sirens or the knock at the door but three people at a home on Sawmill Road immediately began destroying the evidence.
The Brick Township Police Street Crimes Unit arrived on scene last Friday around 6:30 pm to find that what they were trying to destroy, was cocaine, and it was at a time when officers were executing a search warrant.
As a result, three arrests were made and the individuals were given an extra charge for trying to hide the evidence.
Shamaar Strand, 37, Brick, is now being charged with possession of cocaine and tampering with evidence.
Katherine Reyes, 30, Brick, is being charged with possession of cocaine and tampering with evidence.
Isaiah Cruz, 24, Rockaway NY, is being charged with possession of cocaine and tampering with evidence.
All three were processed and released on summonses.
