Police: Two Arrested on Drug Charges

Two Palmyra men were arrested by on several different drug-related charges, according to police.

Police were dispatched to Cuthbert Road at 2:35 a.m. for a complaint of a suspicious male walking down the street. The male, later identified as Robert S. Albrecht, 25, of Highland Avenue, originally lied about his name and was found to have several outstanding warrants.

At the same time, Steven M. Kantor, 18, of Washington Avenue, arrived to pick up Albrecht. Marijuana was discovered in plain view in the back of Kantor's car. Police saw Kantor throw a marijuana cigarette out of his car as he arrived to pick up Albrecht.

Kantor was taken into custody and transported to the Cinnaminson station. Albrecht was handcuffed and searched, and police found several bags of cocaine in his pockets.

As police were taking him into the car, Albrecht fled and was later taken into custody by Palmyra Police after he was found in the back yard of a home on Cinnaminson Avenue.

Kantor was charged with possession of marijuana, distribution of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance in a motor vehicle and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia.

Albrecht was charged with possession of cocaine, distribution of cocaine, possession of a controlled substance in a school zone, possession of oxycontin, resisting arrest, hindering apprehension, escape from custody, theft and possession of handcuffs.

Albrecht's bail was set at $50,000 full cash and he was remanded to Burlington County Jail in default of the same. He was also remanded on two outstanding warrants from the Burlington County Sheriff's Department and prosectuor's office, as well as an additional warrant from the borough of Riverton.
