Police Arrest Suspect in Narcotics Case
**Galloway Township, NJ** – A narcotics arrest took place early Saturday when Officer Rao observed suspicious activity in a parking lot on Brigantine Blvd. The situation unfolded around 4:22 a.m. as a vehicle without a front license plate left the area, catching Rao’s attention.
Officer Rao, along with Officer Sofield, stopped the vehicle at the 4300 Block of Brigantine Blvd. During this stop, Rao’s observations led him to suspect further criminal activity by the vehicle’s occupants. This suspicion prompted a request for a narcotics detection K9.
Officer LaSassa and K9 Evo of the Galloway Township Police Department arrived to assist with the situation. K9 Evo detected the presence of narcotics, leading to a search that uncovered suspected cocaine and Codeine.
Subsequently, Sharod Gillard-Twitty from Middlesex, NJ, was apprehended and charged with possession of cocaine, possession with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance. He was released on a summons pending a court date.

The initiative led to 337 traffic stops and issued 390 summonses. Additionally, there were five arrests for driving under the influence and two for outstanding warrants, along with the recovery of a stolen firearm and illegal drugs.
