Both suspects had outstanding warrants, Barnegat police said.

Members of Barnegat's Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) arrested Jennifer Colon, 46, and Julio Colon, 52, on multiple charges after stopping their vehicle on Ravenwood Boulevard on Friday. 

Police recovered methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, methadone and marijuana, they said.

Barnegat Police Chief Keith Germain praised his CRU members for continuing to carry out their mission in the throes of a pandemic.

"For anyone who wondered if we were distracted or overwhelmed with the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic, I'm happy to report that CRU, like all of our officers, has done what high performance organizations in any field do-- they've quickly adapted," Germain wrote Tuesday on Facebook.
