Over a pound of meth, heroin, cash and loaded handguns seized after suspect points gun at the head of a delivery driver
GLENMONT –A major drug operation in a quiet neighborhood across from McGee Park baseball complex came to an abrupt end on Wednesday, Oct. 30 when police used the Albany County SWAT team to capture two suspects after one of them pulled a gun on a delivery driver.
According to reports, at approximately 12:24 a.m., a newspaper delivery driver reported that a man pointed a loaded weapon at his head because the man thought the driver was attempting to rob the residence.
The driver sped away and called police. A short time later, police met the driver at McGee park and officers approached the building.
The suspect, Benjamin Shore, 34, of Winne Place, Glenmont, fled back into the apartment when police saw him near the woods and called for him to stop.
Shore ran into one of four apartments in the building.
Bethlehem police surrounded the building and used loudspeakers to successfully get all people out of the building through the front door.
