State Police knew what the two women were doing on a regular basis. A trip to the nearby Indian reservation to purchase cartons of cigarettes would net the pair a hefty profit.

Police were skeptical because the 153 cartons translates to 30,600 cigarettes every two weeks for a very small group of friends and family. State Police sources received a lead that the two women would appear in a vehicle in the parking lot of Newark-Wayne Hospital. Newark Police were notified and on Tuesday (3/11) the vehicle was spotted and stopped. Inside, were various brands Indian brands of cigarettes, 153 cartons in total.
