Evesham Township officer recognized for drug-related arrests

EVESHAM TOWNSHIP, NJ – Officer Kevin Bucceroni was named Officer of the Month for his work in two significant drug-related arrests last week. The recognition highlights his efforts to enhance community safety in Evesham Township.

On Thursday, Officer Bucceroni conducted a motor vehicle stop on Greentree Road at Church Road. During this interaction, he discovered a scale, vacuum seal bags, a large quantity of raw marijuana, and individual bags of marijuana in plain view. A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of 2.5 pounds of marijuana, a ledger, and various drug paraphernalia items. The suspect was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute unregulated marijuana.

The following day, Officer Bucceroni made another stop on North Elmwood Road at Katherine Court. During this traffic stop, reasonable suspicion was developed for an exterior K9 sniff, which led to a positive indication for a controlled dangerous substance. A search of the vehicle yielded 13 individually packaged bags of crack cocaine, zip lock bags, and cash. The suspect was taken into custody and charged with possession with intent to distribute CDS, possession of CDS, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The suspect was lodged in the Burlington County Jail.

Officer Bucceroni’s actions have been recognized for their proactive approach in combating drug-related crimes in the area. “Officer Bucceroni is being recognized for his proactive efforts and for making Evesham Township a safer place,” a police spokesperson stated.

These arrests contribute to ongoing efforts by local law enforcement to address drug-related issues in the community. The recognition of Officer Bucceroni reflects the dedication of law enforcement to uphold community safety standards.

Another day, another victory in the fight against drugs in Evesham Township.
