Police arrested two people and seized an assortment of drugs during a raid at a 17th Avenue house, said police director Jerry Speziale on Tuesday morning.

Speziale said police seized 430 glassines of heroin, 43 baggies of marijuana, and 1 marijuana cigar. Also, police seized two handguns — Beretta 7.65 cal. and Llama .45 cal. — during the raid at 235 17th Avenue on Friday.

Manuel Almonte, 30, and Cleveland Spencer, 57, were arrested in the raid at about 11:15 a.m. Both live in Paterson, said police.

Almonte was charged with 10 drugs and weapons offenses while Spencer was charged with marijuana possession, according to police.

$217 in drug money was taken from Almonte.

Speziale said police had set up surveillance of the house last month after receiving information from a concerned citizen that the house was being used for drug dealing.

    2 Atrest. Really? I can go out to Paterson and in just one minute see two drug sales. Wake up Paterson officials. Paterson is the laughing stock of the country. The worse police force. Zero tolerance is needed. Respect of police is needed.
