Law enforcement agencies across the nation employ a variety of tactics in the pursuit of stemming the flow of drug activity. In some cases, these investigations may culminate in the search of a home, and if illegal narcotics are found, those who reside within could be left facing criminal charges. Three men have reportedly been arrested and are facing drug charges following the recent search of an apartment in New York.

According to authorities, the incident was part of a recent investigation into the presence of drug activity in the area. On a recent Friday, police assert that a warrant was executed at a nearby apartment complex. During the search, they claim to have uncovered various types and amounts of narcotics, including several grams of heroin and cocaine, along with drug paraphernalia and a large sum of cash.

The nature of the information or evidence that led to the search is unclear. According to reports, three individuals were taken into custody soon thereafter, each of whom is facing multiple charges in relation, such as possession of a controlled substance and criminal use of drug paraphernalia. Those who face similar charges may wish to protect themselves against potentially devastating consequences, but they may need assistance in the process.

When facing drug charges of this nature, one may benefit from seeking guidance from an attorney as soon as the charges are filed. A defense attorney can evaluate the charges and evidence and provide a person with advice on the best course of action with which to proceed. If a conviction cannot be avoided, an attorney in New York can assist a client in pursuing the best outcome possible given the circumstances.
