Investigators from several Essex County towns shut down a major drug manufacturing facility Monday night and seized nearly 10 pounds of methamphetamine worth an estimated $1 million, authorities said.

One man was taken into custody and another was sought after officers from the Essex County Sheriff’s Office and detectives from Newark, Bloomfield, Irvington and West Orange raided a home on Lorelei Road in West Orange, according to Sheriff Armando Fontoura. The meth was in both liquid and crystal form, Fontoura said in a statement that provide the estimated value of the drugs.

Officers also seized 96 ounces of chemical used to make drugs, marijuana, paraphernalia, digital scales, plastic funnels, $3,840 cash, four pellet guns, video surveillance cameras and “bank deposit receipts in the hundreds of thousands of dollars,” the sheriff said.

Brian Cheda Hackembruch, 23, was arrested in a bedroom of the home and faces multiple drug charges including maintaining a drug manufacturing facility.

A second suspect who also lives in the home, identified by Fontoura as Eduardo Martinez, 39, remains at large. He initially faced similar charges, but when the case was transferred from state to federal court, Martinez only faced a drug possession charge, authorities said.

Following his arrest, Cheda Hackembruch complained of discomfort due to a medical condition and was taken by ambulance to University Hospital in Newark, where he was placed under guard, Fontoura said.

Fontoura said the Nutley and New Jersey State Police HAZMAT teams were called to the scene due to the toxicity of the drugs.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was updated on Aug. 7 to reflect that Martinez faces a lesser charge of drug possession after the case was moved to federal court.
