Police say a tip sent into the WPD’s Text-a-Tip line several months ago helped lead to the bust.

Police say detectives searched a home in the 1200 block of Carnation Court around 6:00 a.m. That’s where they seized four firearms, two of which were stolen, three and a half ounces of crack cocaine, 700 grams of powder cocaine, $22,000, and more than 14,000 bindles of heroin.

They also searched one of the suspect’s rooms at Wood Spring Suites on Carolina Beach Road.
