Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay's office says their work, which began in July, resulted in search warrants being executed last week at Bodega 856 on Westfield Avenue, at a home on the 7000 block of Githens Avenue, and a vehicle.

At those locations, authorities say they seized three pounds of marijuana, a loaded Glock handgun containing a high-capacity magazine, and about $20,000.

29-year-old Matthew Rivera of Pennsauken was arrested and charged with the following offenses:

  • Second-degree possession of a firearm while in possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance/marijuana
  • Third-degree possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance of one ounce or more, but less than five pounds/marijuana
  • Third-degree possession of marijuana with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school
  • Fourth-degree possession of a large-capacity ammunition magazine
  • Fourth-degree possession of hollow nose ammunition

28-year-old Pamela Canepa, also of Pennsauken, was arrested and charged with third-degree possession with intent to distribute a CDS of one ounce or more, but less than five pounds/marijuana.

The public is reminded that charges are accusations and all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
