According to court papers, police used an informant to make five heroin purchases from Harmon between late October and Tuesday. The drug buys reportedly took place in Bristol Township and Tullytown.
Over the course of the investigation, 61 bags of suspected heroin were purchased. The heroin packaging included the stamps “Shufflin,” “Purge 2,” “300,” Empire” and an image of a spider web, police said.
The drug buys between the informant and Harmon were set up via phone, police said.
