  • Crime-Courts

An Atlantic City man is wanted after police seized drugs and guns as part of a two-month investigation.

Joel Snyder, 45, is one of two men charged in the case sparked by an investigation into drugs being sold from a home in the 1500 block of Beach Avenue.

A search of the residence and a vehicle Wednesday, led to four handguns, more than 15 pounds of marijuana, 23 grams of cocaine and paraphernalia used in the manufacturing and distribution of drugs, Capt. Kevin Fair said.

One of the guns was reported stolen from North Carolina.

The investigation was led by Detective James Barrett.

Wilber Deberry Jr., 53, was arrested at the scene.

Both men are charged with maintaining a drug-manufacturing facility and money laundering, along with weapons offenses and additional drug charges.

Snyder is additionally charged with receiving stolen property and possession of a weapon by a certain person not to possess a weapon.

Deberry is in the Atlantic County Justice Facility.

Anyone with information on Snyder's whereabouts is asked to call police at 609-347-5766. Information also may be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411), beginning the text with ACPD.
