A trio of women stand accused of being involved in a drug deal that has led to charges being filed.
Senia Letenauchyn, 26, of Bensalem; a 32-year-old Bristol Township woman; and a 42-year-old Delaware County woman were involved in a methamphetamine deal that went down under the watch of Bensalem police officers in the 1000 block of Veterans Highway in Bristol Township in January, according to court papers filed Wednesday. At this time, LevittownNow.com is not publishing the names of the two women who have yet to be arraigned.

Bensalem investigators said they learned two women were selling meth. They began working with a confidential informant who said the Bristol Township woman told them the 42-year-old Delaware County woman was her boss.
After the January controlled buy of meth, officers followed the vehicle with all three defendants in it to Mulberry Lane in Levittown, police said.
The meth picked up in the police-monitor buy measured 3.48 grams, police said.

Letenauchyn was arrested earlier this year in Delaware County on an unrelated Bensalem case. She reportedly told detectives she was working with the Delaware County woman to deliver drugs to buyers across the Philadelphia region.
The Delaware County woman was identified as the person who handed the drugs to the informant during the controlled buy while Letenauchyn and the Bristol Township woman were in the car.
The three women are all facing charges of manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver; conspiracy; possession of a controlled substance; and use/possession of drug paraphernalia.
