2 Charged With Operating Multi-State Crystal Meth Ring Through US Postal Service
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (CBS) -- A man and woman from Ambler have been arrested on charges they're part of a multi-state, crystal-meth ring.
The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office says the investigation started when the U.S. Postal Service found an Express Mail parcel with about one pound of crystal methamphetamine.
Authorities say they found cross-country bulk shipments of crystal meth and marijuana, with the shipments allegedly being sold to other drug dealers in the region.
