Employees found more than 500 glassine bags filled with heroin hidden under tree branches, leaves and covered over with rice according to law enforcement sources. The rice is used to keep the heroin powder free of moisture. Two cell phones, most likly "burner" phones, and a box cutter were also recovered.
The narcotics stash was discovered in University Woods Park in the University Heights neighborhood yesterday afternoon.
The notorious three acre woodland park located between Cedar & Sedgwick Avenues has long been a dumping ground due to a lack of dedicated maintenance and staffing from the city.
Police from the 52 Pct. took possession of the alleged narcotics.
The narcotics were found hidden under rice.
