TOMS RIVER, N.J. (CBS)—A man accused of running a heroin facility in New Jersey is now facing charges, Toms River police have announced.

Kevin Porter, 27, of Newark was arrested and charged in December following a month long investigation into the alleged distribution of heroin.

Police say they executed a search warrant at the Winteringham Village apartment building and a residence in the 100 block of Philadelphia Avenue in Lavallette where they uncovered a "full manufacturing facility where heroin was being mixed, packaged and stamped by Porter for resale."
