TRENTON -- A Middlesex County man was indicted Monday on charges he was distributing cocaine and heroin out of his Dunnellen home, state authorities said.

Jeffrey Groth, 35, was arrested in December after police seized 14,300 glassine folds -- about two kilograms -- of heroin, according to the Attorney General's Office. Authorities allege he was on his way to a drug transaction.

Authorities then searched Groth's home, which had been under surveillance, and the Attorney General's office said they found more than $39,000, 20 kilograms of cocaine, more than a kilogram of heroin, scales, packaging material, drug paraphernalia and surveillance equipment.
