Atlantic City Police nabbed a dozen during a recent narcotics sweep – a move in response to complaints of drug dealing activity in the city.

Police charged a dozen people following a narcotics sweep that authorities said Friday was an effort to combat drug distribution in the city.

The Police Department’s Special Investigations Section and Tactical Operations Unit launched a surveillance operation Thursday, led by Officer Ermindo Marsini, after several community complaints about drug distribution on Atlantic Avenue, police said.

Police arrested and charged 10 people with possession or distribution of heroin and two more people after officers witnessed a drug transaction, police said.

Police said Dayon Gilbert, 34, of Vineland, is charged with two counts of possession of CDS and distribution of CDS.

Iwanski, Harrison, Brooks and Booth were additionally charged with distribution of CDS, police said. Brooks was also charged with possession with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a public zone, police said.

During the sweep, police said, Sgt. Richard Andrews watched a drug transaction take place and found oxycodone on the 1000 block of Arctic Avenue.

Reinaldo Izquierdo, 66, and Jolene Haman, 42, both of Atlantic City, were arrested and charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and Izquierdo was charged with distribution of CDS and possession with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a public zone.
