MOUNT WASHINGTON (KDKA) – Police arrested two men as part of a large heroin bust on Mount Washington Sunday night. According to the Attorney General’s Office, the pair were arrested at a home on William Street.
“We keep an eye out and there was nothing giving you any indication this was going on,” one neighbor told KDKA.
Law enforcement and the DEA seized 1,500 bricks of heroin (75,000 stamped bags), 16 firearms, more than $100,000 in cash and jewelry, two luxury vehicles, Cuban cigars and a live chicken.
Mt. Washington residents were surprised to learn that the townhouse is the suspected distribution point of a major heroin operation.
Allegheny County property records show that former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Deshea Townsend owns the house, but there is no indication that he is involved.
