Three adults and a 15-year-old were charged with drug related offenses following a suspicious persons complaint on Friday afternoon.  Officers responded to the parking lot of Dunkin Donuts at 470 S. DuPont Highway, after receiving a call that a dark colored Honda Accord was parked in front of the business for a long period of time and was occupied by four persons.  Officers arrived on scene to find a 15-year-old male standing next to the vehicle and three adults inside of the vehicle.  Officers immediately smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and detained the four suspects.  A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 212 (3.18 grams) of heroin, a small amount of marijuana, and $443 in drug proceeds.  The juvenile was released on a criminal summons for possession of marijuana.  The following suspects were all arrested and committed to JTVCC in default of bond on the following charges:
-Possession of Heroin (Tier 3 Qty)
-Possession with Intent to Deliver Heroin
-Conspiracy 2nd Degree
