New Jersey state troopers pulled off an impressive bust Monday when they arrested a woman who they say had more than 300 packets of heroin stuffed inside her bra.
The incident happened on Route 80 west in Rockaway Township at around 1.30pm when troopers pulled over a Honda Accord that was spotted driving erratically.
Neither the driver, 52-year-old Kim Decker, of Montague, nor her two passengers had valid licenses, so the vehicle was impounded.
