Police seizure nets $3m in Ecstasy pills
FRESNO -- Fresno police have confiscated about $3 million in Ecstasy pills, cash and cocaine and booked two men on suspicion of distributing the illegal drug, Chief Jerry Dyer said.
Dyer said it was the largest seizure of Ecstasy in the city's history.
He described Ecstasy as a dangerous drug that can contain methamphetamine, opiates and hallucinogens. It is often sold on high school campuses, at nightclubs and at dance parties advertised on Internet sites, he added.
Ranveer Singh Gill and Harjeet Singh Longia, both 24, were arrested on charges of possession for sale of the drug after an investigation that began with the arrest of a street-level dealer in the Tower District in August. Dyer said police followed the trail from that arrest back to Longia, who worked in a convenience store near Clinton and Weber avenues.
