LEWISBERRY, Pa. — A recent investigation into suspected drug sales in and around Red Land High School and other nearby communities by Newberry Township Police resulted in the seizure of approximately $10,000 worth of controlled substances, the police department announced.
Officers executing a search warrant as part of the investigation also recovered nearly $10,000 in cash and discovered a minor carrying a loaded firearm, the department said.
