MAHWAH — Local grandparents who allegedly operated a drug-dealing ring out of their home were arrested after it was raided on Friday, police say.

Aniello Famelico, 62, and his wife, Linda Famelico, 61, had also been arrested on drug charges in May 2016 when they lived in Pearl River, New York.

The couple, now living in the township, was nabbed again when a K9 unit, with patrol officers and detectives, swarmed their home on Quince Court, in the Society Hill condo complex, said Police Chief James Batelli.

The chief said Aniello Famelico was arrested there and that his wife was apprehended at a local restaurant, where she works as a delivery driver.

Batelli said the couple's arrests stem from an investigation by Detective Eric Larsen and Patrolman Martin Kilroy.

A "distribution quantity" of drugs, including alprazalom, hash oil and oxycodone, was seized from the home, the chief said.

More than $16,000 in cash, believed to be proceeds from their illicit operation, also was confiscated, Batelli said.

Each suspect was charged with three counts of drug possession; money laundering; possession with intent to distribute oxycodone; possession of hash oil; possession of drug paraphernalia; and forgery, for having fake drug prescriptions.

Eleven officers, and a police dog, executed the search warrant at the home, the chief said.

The couple was released, pending court appearances on Dec. 28.
