A pregnant woman and two men were arrested and more than 600 bags of heroin were confiscated after a drug investigation by Dunmore police and the Lackawanna County Drug Task Force.
Police saw Matthew Cobb, 34, 827 N. Webster Ave., Scranton, get into a vehicle with a man and a woman Wednesday afternoon, then watched him get out and sell heroin near Ash Street and Prescott Avenue in Scranton, according to a criminal complaint.
Police arrested Mr. Cobb and also pulled over the vehicle he had been riding in, where they discovered the driver, Allison Kondrat, had three bags of heroin in her possession. She and another passenger, Justin Gonsauls, were arrested and taken to police headquarters.
In the course of the investigation, Dunmore police searched Ms. Kondrat's 110 Willowbrook Road home in South Abington Twp., where they found 60 bags of heroin and almost $2,000 in cash. A search of the halfway home Mr. Gonsauls was staying in at 1512 Olive St., Scranton, revealed 555 bags of heroin and nearly 36 grams of cocaine, police said.
Mr. Cobb was charged with delivery of a controlled substance, criminal conspiracy, possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.
