During this investigation, a search was conducted on GERMAN-JAVIER’s vehicle in Fort Lee, NJ that revealed an electronically operated after-market hidden compartment containing $15,000 in cash, in addition to small amounts of heroin and fentanyl. GERMAN-JAVIER was arrested at the scene of the search.
