The Newark police department, Essex county sheriff’s office and the Plainfield police department executed multiple search warrants in Newark and Plainfield, New Jersey. Seven suspects were arrested and the police have seized:

•1871 decks of heroin valued at $18,700

•73 grams of crack cocaine valued at $7,300

•Prescription drugs valued at $900

•Three grams of marijuana valued at $60

•.40 caliber handgun

•2012 Infiniti FX35 Sport Utility Vehicle Andre Banks, 48, and Tuasan Wise, 26, both of Newark are still at large and have active arrest warrants.

“By dismantling this drug trafficking network, more than two-thousand doses of heroin and crack cocaine never made it to the street, which almost certainly saved a life,” said Colonel Rick Fuentes, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police.
