It led investigators to stashes of drugs, arms and they found out that the man who called 911 to report the burglary was not an innocent one. He was allegedly dealing with drugs. All of the individuals involved in this case are Indian-orgin. On August 28, 2024, officers from Bethel Township Police Department were dispatched to a residence in the unit block of Legion Drive for a reported burglary in progress.
