People selling and distributing controlled substances have always been thinking of new ways on how to avoid being caught by the authorities. As we cover steroid related news, there were already cases where some people or individuals tried to hide their illegal operations by adopting unconventional strategies. Two months ago an individual was caught manufacturing anabolic steroids at a hotel room. He rented the room for the sole purpose of manufacturing and packaging the steroids to be distributed in the area. In some instances, a legal business is used to cover up the illegal manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs.

In New Jersey, police uncovered a new technique in selling prescription drugs and other drugs classified as a substance of abuse. They dubbed it as a pharmacy on wheels. Albina Sportelli of NorthJersey.com reported that the Jersey police were able to apprehend two women allegedly peddling various prescription drugs including anabolic steroids. The two women were inside a 2009 BMW at a parking lot. When the officers asked for their identification, a bottle of injectable steroid was spotted when one of the women opened her purse to show the officers her identification.

Detective Capt. Robert Rowan identified them as Jennifer Nicer, 31, of Astoria and Layla Nazari, 23, of Montclair, Queens, N.Y. The two women were arrested and charge with possession and distribution of controlled dangerous substances (CDS). A further search on their car revealed two suitcases full of different drugs. This is aside from the plastic bags the officers said were full of various pills which were later identified as crystal meth, Xanax, and ecstasy.

After obtaining a search warrant, Passaic County Sheriff’s Department helped in the search by using a sniffer dog. The two suitcases found on the car contain several pills, syringes, steroids, glass pipes and other prescription drugs without prescriptions. “There are also lots of other pills that have not been identified yet,” said Rowan. He commended the apprehending officers for a great job in getting these drugs off the street.

Authorities suspect that the two women were targeting students from a nearby school. Several charges were filed against Nazari and Nicer. They were charged with possession and distribution of controlled dangerous substances, distribution of CDS in a school zone, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of hypodermic syringes.
