On February 28, 2023, The Bensalem Township Police Special Investigations Unit executed a search warrant at 3131 Knights Rd, Bucks Meadows Apartment, #5-11. As a result of the investigation officers recovered approximately two pounds of methamphetamine, two ounces of cocaine, marijuana, psilocybin (mushrooms), $1,364 US currency, digital scales, and packaging material consistent with the sales and manufacturing of controlled substances.
At the time of the execution of the search warrant, Ramiro Murillo Garcia and Wilfredo Sanchez were taken into custody without incident. Murillo Garcia and Sanchez are both in the United States illegally and have been charged with 2 counts of Manufacture, Deliver, Possess with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance, Conspiracy and related charges.
The investigation began with an anonymous tip about the sale of narcotics in the Bucks Meadows Apartment complex.

The “customers” arrived on foot and by vehicle and were comprised of people from various neighborhoods in and around Bucks County.
