Hackensack NJ, In a major victory for local public safety, the Hackensack Police Department’s Crime Suppression Bureau has taken a dangerous arsenal and a significant amount of narcotics off the streets. Following a targeted investigation, 36-year-old Terrell T. Loyd was arrested on January 22, 2026, facing a laundry list of high-level weapons and drug charges.

• Firearms: Four handguns, including a defaced Taurus G2C 9mm pistol.

• Tactical Ammo: Hundreds of rounds of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds.

• Illegal Hardware: A 9mm magazine with a 30-round drum attachment and several other illegal high-capacity magazines.

• Narcotics: Approximately one kilogram of cocaine with a street value of nearly $18,600.

• Distribution Tools: A kilo press, packaging materials, and over $12,000 in cash suspected to be drug proceeds.

Serious Charges and Legal Fallout

Loyd, a Hackensack resident, is now facing severe legal consequences. He has been processed and remanded to the Bergen County Jail. His charges include:

• 1st-Degree Possession of CDS with Intent to Distribute.

• 2nd-Degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose.
