On July 29th, 2020, the Secaucus Police Department arrested Hector Reveron subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Secaucus Road. During the stop, he was placed under arrest for an active warrant from North Bergen with a $350 bail, Miller said in a statement.
At the time of his arrest, he was found in possession of 34 bags of suspected crack cocaine and three folds of suspected heroin. He was charged with multiple crimes and remanded to the Hudson County Jail, but released a short time later.
In May of 2021, the Secaucus Police Anti-Crime Unit developed information that Reveron, a
town resident, was supplying a variety of drugs to Hoboken residents.
As a result, the Secaucus Police Anti-Crime Unit and the Hoboken Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit collaboratively conducted a narcotics investigation.
During the probe, two individuals were arrested in Hoboken by members of the two police department after they were observed purchasing heroin from Reveron, authorities said.
At the culmination of a two-month long investigation, Reveron was arrested by members of the Secaucus and Hoboken Police Departments today at his Riverside Station Boulevard
apartment.
Shortly thereafter, a search of his apartment was conducted where $9,423 in cash was seized, which is believed to be derived from criminal activity.
Additionally, a search of an apartment Reveron is associated with on the 300 block of Harrison Street in Hoboken was also conducted. Ernest Walker and Angela Rodriguez were found within the Harrison Street Apartment and were arrested after the search.
Also during a search of the Harrison Street apartment, more than one and a half ounces of suspected cocaine and crack/cocaine, a quantity of suspected heroin, along with materials used to package narcotics for street sale, were seized along with $362 in cash.
“The Secaucus Police Department will continue to work collaboratively with other law enforcement agencies to pursue and apprehend criminals across jurisdictional boundaries that have a nexus to Secaucus,” Miller explained.
“The ongoing partnership between the Hoboken and Secaucus Police Departments will help
ensure a better quality of life for the residents in both Secaucus and Hoboken … The collaboration, planning and execution of this operation was exemplary.”
He also thanked the Hudson County Regional SWAT and Hudson County Sheriff’s Office SWAT for their assistance in making entry into the apartments in Secaucus and Hoboken.
“I want to personally thank Chief Dennis Miller for his continued leadership and assistance to both our agency and community … To the residents of the Hoboken Housing Authority, I thank you for your continued patience, community support, collaboration and communication,” added Hoboken Police Chief Daniel LoBue.
