MILFORD, Del.- Police say a drug investigation led to the arrests of two people at the Milford Public Library.

Milford police said that on Wednesday, April 3, members of the department's narcotics unit concluded a several week-long investigation into the sale of illicit drugs, which resulted in a search warrant being obtained for a blue Jeep Cherokee and two individuals that had been tied to that vehicle, Lucretia Chandler, 38, and Antonio Tyler, 39, both of Milford.

Police said detectives were conducting surveillance of the Jeep, which was located in the Milford Public Library parking lot off of South Washington Street. Detectives reportedly observed both suspects approach the Jeep and grab a container from the hidden location on the exterior of the vehicle. Police said detectives then observed Tyler open the container and then put it back in a hidden location on the exterior of the vehicle, before he and Chandler walked inside the library. When both suspects walked out of the library again, Detectives contacted both suspects and detained them in reference to the active search warrant for their Jeep.

Police said that during a search of the vehicle, a small key box was located in a hidden location on the exterior of the vehicle that contained suspect heroin for distribution. A search of Tyler yielded drug paraphernalia related to heroin and an undisclosed amount of cash, investigators said.

Both Chandler and Tyler were charged with drug dealing , second-degree conspiracy, and possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Chandler and Tyler had a presentment through Justice of the Peace Court 2. Chandler was released on $5,700 unsecured bail and Tyler was released on $12,200 unsecured bail. Both were issued no contact orders with the Milford Public Library. Both were ordered to appear at a later date in Sussex County Court of Common Pleas for a preliminary hearing reference to this investigation.
