Riverside Investigation Leads to High Quantity Seizure of Narcotics
On December 22, 2014, the Riverside Police charged Gary R. Dubell,
32 yrs, of Riverside Township with Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine,
Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine, Possession with Intent to
Distribute a Schedule II narcotic (Oxycodone) and Possession of a Weapon while
in the Commission of a CDS offense. These
offenses all took place within 500 ft of a public park and within 1000 ft of a
school.
The Riverside Police were first alerted to narcotics
activity at Dubell’s home in October of 2013 during a separate narcotics investigation. That investigation involved a narcotics ring operating
in the area of the Riverside Township Schools near Dubell’s home. During that investigation, suspicious activity
at the Dubell residence was observed. Detectives
were able to determine through that investigation and the arrests made as a
result, that Dubell was not operating within that same narcotics ring. A
subsequent investigation was opened into Dubell and the suspicious activity in
and around his Washington Street home. Throughout
the summer of 2014, information was continually being gathered from arrestees
and users regarding individuals distributing narcotics in the area, including
Gary Dubell. The investigation led
police to believe that Dubell was selling prescription pain killers, Heroin and
Crystal Methamphetamine from his residence.
Detectives with the Riverside Police applied and obtained a
search warrant for Dubell’s residence and his automobile through Burlington
County Superior Court. Upon executing
the search warrant, the Riverside Police recovered a high quantity of suspected
Crystal Methamphetamine, Cocaine, Heroin, Prescription pills and painkillers.
The evidence was submitted to the Burlington County Forensic Science Laboratory
with charges pending those results. Lab
results confirmed a positive finding of cocaine and a high quantity Methamphetamine.
Lab results are still pending on the
Heroin seized from Dubell’s home, however, the preliminary result is that it
may be the largest single submission of Heroin in the history of the Burlington
County Forensic Science Lab.
Gary R. Dubell was lodged in Burlington County Jail on $125,000
bail.
