Berkeley, NJ Police arrest two Bayville, NJ residents dealing heroin out of Fernwood Drive home

Two Bayville residents have been arrested for dealing drugs out of a Fernwood Drive home in the Glencove section, and Berkeley Township Police say more arrests may be on the horizon as evidence is processed.

The arrests of Andrea Dekker, 42, and Anthony Owen, 33, come after a months-long investigation into suspected drug deals in that area of town.

Police said they had been receiving several calls from the neighbors who said there were vehicles and people coming to the home at all hours of the day and night -- sometimes even meeting on the street.
