The Rush Township Police Department has charged three individuals as a result of a traffic stop.\u00a0 A vehicle was stopped for a violation in the 700 block of Claremont Avenue.\u00a0 During the stop, officers observed the odor of Marijuana, and also observed packaging material commonly used for the distribution of Heroin.\u00a0 Further investigation uncovered 114 baggies of\u00a0 suspected Heroin, 4.5 grams of unpackaged Heroin, and empty packaging material used in the distribution of Heroin.\u00a0 The unpackaged Heroin could yield 125 additional packages of Heroin without the dilution of a cutting agent.\u00a0 If one is used, that would increase the yield of the amount of individual Heroin baggies that the 4.5 grams could produce.<\/p>\n
