Neighbor Says Alleged Meth House Concerned Her

A woman who lives near the Hellertown home where authorities say four people operated a meth lab says she observed a lot of activity there.

A woman who lives near the Hellertown home that was raided by drug enforcement authorities Tuesday compared it to Grand Central Station and said the amount of activity she observed there worried her, according to an article published by the Express-Times.

Jean Cressman—who lives across the street from 166 Main St., where authorities say four people operated a meth lab—told the newspaper she observed a lot of activity there, but an attorney whose office is a few doors down from the home said he had never seen anything unusual, the article said.

Hellertown Police said in a news release Tuesday that the search warrant at the home was executed by members of the Northampton County Drug Task Force and the Pennsylvania State Police Clandestine Lab Response Team.

On Wednesday it was revealed in court papers that another alleged meth lab operation was uncovered in a rented barn on Applebutter Road in Lower Saucon Township.
