A man who sold illegal drugs in the area of Market Street while riding a bicycle has been arrested, according to the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office.

Brian Collins, 24-year-old, was arrested near the intersection of 21st Ave and 33rd Street earlier today, by officers from Richard H. Berdnik’s office. Earlier in the week Mr Berdnik received complaints from locals of prostitution and drug dealing taking place on daily basis near Market Street, after which surveillance was setup in the area.

Upon reviewing the tapes officers from the sheriff’s office noticed a lone drug dealer riding on a bicycle completing transactions. Detectives recovered “42 Glassines of Heroin stamped “BUGATTI ” in Green ink,” according to Mr Berdnik.

Mr Collins has been charged with various drug offenses including distribution.
