$600,000 worth of heroin confiscated at hotel November 6, 2010 - phillyburbs.com
The heroin was so pure and so fresh after arriving from overseas that the balloons containing the drug still had human fecal matter on the outside, police said.
The heroin-filled balloons recently passed through the digestive systems of the "mules," the people who smuggled the drug into the U.S., police said.
"We were probably the second stop into the United States from wherever it came from," said Fred Harran, Bensalem's public safety director.
Harran was talking about $600,000 worth of heroin Bensalem's Special Investigations Unit said it confiscated Thursday outside the Sunrise Inn on Lincoln Highway. The cops also arrested four men from Camden, N.J.
Bensalem's SIU also recovered a stolen handgun, a loaded .40 caliber, according to court records. The kilogram of heroin the cops recovered also came with all of the accoutrements of drug dealing: scales, sandwich bags, rubber bands and the like, court records show.
According to Bensalem police, officers noticed a suspicious looking car, a black Chevrolet Impala with New Jersey plates, parked outside the motel Wednesday.
The officers approached the car and spoke with a Melvin Torres, 18, who said he had arrived at the motel with his cousin, Francisco Saldana, 25, who was in one of the motel rooms, according to court records.
Police then went to the motel room, knocked on the door and spoke with Saldana and two other men in the room, Jose Vargas, 20, and Raymer Carrasco, 26, the court documents show.
The next day, Bensalem police obtained search warrants for the motel room and the Impala. The heroin and the handgun, which had been stolen of out of Philadelphia, were found in a hidden compartment in the Impala's dashboard, according to the court paperwork.
The men refused to talk to police after they were arrested, Harran said.
Each man are charged with being part of a corrupt organization and conspiracy to sell drugs, both first-degree felonies punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and carrying an unlicensed gun, a third-degree felony punishable by up to seven years in prison.
The men were arraigned in the Bensalem district court of Joseph Falcone and each was sent to Bucks County prison in lieu of $750,000 cash bail.

they charged three people with the possession of one firearm? Lol. The "legal system" is so full of shit.
That first guy is a fucking moron for speaking with the police *at all* about anything.
He, and all the rest of them are fucking morons for staying at that motel when the police had spoken with them the day before. I would have left the place IMMEDIATELY with all my gear. Shit, if I were too paranoid I might have left without that fucking gear, stashed it inside the motel room somewhere inside the walls or ceiling and laid low for a few weeks or months.
Who in the fuck wants to be looking at 47 years that might get pleaded down to 10-20? What kind of dumb shit is that? What a waste of time man.
