YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: Detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and Cliffside Park police arrested a 72-year-old Peruvian national and a borough man who they said were carrying more than five ounces of cocaine for sale along with $2,800 in alleged drug proceeds.
Charles Quiroz, 45, was being held on $250,000 bail and Augusto Yong Espinosa, 72, on $100,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail following their arrests Friday. Both are charged with drug distribution.
Espinosa, it turned out, also had outstanding warrants from Saddle Brook, Belleville, Clifton and Union City dating back as far as 1998.
Detectives from the prosecutor’s Narcotic Task Force and borough police moved in on the pair as they sat in a Toyota pickup parked outside the Winston Towers, then obtained written consent to search the vehicle from Quiroz, reports show.
