[CAUGHT ON VIDEO] Two men were arrested at gunpoint in Lakewood this afternoon for allegedly dealing drugs in a residential neighborhood.
The incident began on Shabbos afternoon when Frum residents in the County Line Manor development spotted men digging near their homes.
After Shabbos, the residents phoned police, who found over a dozen bricks of drugs buried in the ground, Captain Steve Allaire told TLS.
This afternoon, the men returned to the area, whereupon alert residents immediately phoned police again.
Police swarmed the area and suspects in a vehicle attempted to flee the area, crashing into a tree. They were stopped at gunpoint, ordered out of their vehicle and taken into custody.
A K9 dog was called in and sniffed items of interest. The vehicle was impounded.
An investigation is underway.

I have one question for the gentlemen who allegedly did this ?
Why in a Frum neighborhood rather then somewhere else.
Do they think people don’t see on shabbos
