Two men were arrested in New Jersey on Friday after police discovered over 3,000 decks of heroin in their vehicle. 

According to CBS New York, police in Bergen County pulled 29-year-old Yeuri Jimenez and 31-year-old Lenny Montero over in Fort Lee, N.J. yesterday morning due to Jimenez's erratic driving. After noticing how nervous both men were, officers elected to search the minivan, eventually finding 3,010 decks of heroin stashed in a hidden trap. Police sources told CBS New York that the drugs were worth upwards of $100,000.

Both Jimenez and Montreo—who hail from the Dominican Republic—face heroin possession charges, while Jimenez faces an additional charge for possessing a false government document. Apparently, he tried pass the cops a bogus Pennsylvania drivers license when they asked for identification.
