The most recent incident took place on Saturday morning around 11 after officers of the force’s Mobile Division searched a home on Montgomery Street, located off Carmichael Road.
During their search, officers found two packages of suspected marijuana and a small quantity of cash.
It is believed that the cash is to be derived from the sales of the illicit drugs.
A 28-year-old man and 20-year-old woman were arrested for possession of those drugs.
In addition, officers from the Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) nabbed a 28-year-old woman, who has been wanted by them for the last three years over the weekend.
The female suspect, police believe is connected to two large drug cases and a firearm seizure that occurred in 2008.
That arrest was made shortly before 5 on Saturday evening after officers searched a residence in western New Providence.
Additionally, DEU officers also searched a home on Blake Road shortly before midnight on Friday in search of dangerous drugs.
Police confiscated over 1,200 lbs of suspected marijuana and over 4,000 lbs of hashish oil at that residence.
From that discovery, two men were arrested – a 29-year-old and a 52-year-old – on preliminary charges of possession of dangerous drugs and possession of drugs with the intent to supply.
The estimated value of the drugs is said to be just over $2 million.
And shortly after 11:00 p.m. on Friday, police of the Northeastern Division searched a Windsor Lane residence, where 14 small packages of marijuana, along with some cash – believed to be derived from drug sales –were found.
A 20-year-old man was arrested as a result of that search.
Officials said all of the suspects are expected to be charged before the courts sometime this week.
