  • News

Detectives seized guns and several pounds of marijuana and edibles as a result warranted searches of three buildings and two vehicles, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office announced Tuesday.

Sadman Sakib, 26, of Egg Harbor Township, and Jamiel Basir, 42, of Mays Landing, are jailed on charges including second-degree possession with intent to distribute more than five pounds of marijuana, possession of a handgun and money laundering.

Warrants were executed last week at a home in the 100 block of Azalea Lane in the township, the 1500 building of Ben Franklin Court in the Mays Landing Village Complex and a business in the 300 block of the White Horse Pike in Egg Harbor City. They also searched a Chevrolet Blazer SUV and a Toyota Camry.

A total of about eight pounds of marijuana, four pounds of THC-infused edible items, 100 THC vape cartridges, a significant amount of narcotics production and packaging materials, digital scales, a 12-gauge shotgun, a .40 caliber handgun, two high-capacity ammunition magazines each containing hollow-point ammunition, and about $50,000 were seized, according to the report.

Basir and Sakib are jailed pending detention hearings.
