JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ – A two-month investigation into heroin and cocaine trafficking in Ocean County ended with the arrest of two Trenton residents and the seizure of thousands of doses of narcotics, prosecutors announced.
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said the probe was carried out by the office’s Narcotics Strike Force in coordination with the FBI’s Red Bank Jersey Shore Safe Streets Task Force, the DEA’s High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Group 5, the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, and multiple Jackson Township police units.
Investigators identified Seption Diggs, 30, and Ahmia Tillery, 26, as suspected drug distributors moving heroin and cocaine into the area. On August 5, detectives tracked Diggs in Trenton, where he met Tillery before entering her vehicle. The pair then drove toward Jackson Township.
Officers pulled the vehicle over in Jackson, taking Diggs and Tillery into custody without incident. A court-authorized search of the vehicle uncovered approximately 2,450 doses of heroin and 43 grams of cocaine, officials said.
Both Diggs and Tillery face multiple charges, including possession with intent to distribute, distribution, conspiracy, and possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia. Diggs has been held at the Ocean County Jail since his arrest, while Tillery was released under New Jersey bail reform guidelines.
