Cops in Atlantic City say a month-long investigation into the distribution of drugs resulted in three people being arrested last Thursday.

The Atlantic City Police Department says their detectives launched an investigation after a concerned citizen reported drug distribution on the beach block of Ocean Avenue.

Detectives recently served a search warrant at an apartment and arrested three men. During the search, cops found more than 14 grams of cocaine and items used to distribute drugs.

The following people were arrested and charged:
