Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico today announced that the Dauphin County Drug Task Force and Lower Paxton Township police have made several arrests of drug dealers in Lower Paxton Township. “Deal drugs in Lower Paxton Township and you will get caught,” Marsico noted.

The Drug Task Force and Lower Paxton Township police have continued to target and investigate drug trafficking in the area, especially in light of the proliferation of heroin in Pennsylvania. “Too many young people are dying from heroin overdoses or are addicted to heroin in our county. We need to disrupt the supply chains of these drugs,” Marsico said. Lower Paxton Lieutenant Gary Seefeldt added that “we are committed to fighting drug trafficking and the pain it inflicts on our families.”
