Union City police, working with multiple law enforcement agencies, shut down a drug lab operating inside a luxury condo building Friday, the second major drug bust in the city this month, authorities said.
More than 1,200 pills and tablets suspected to be ecstasy/MDMA, methamphetamine, marijuana, “mushrooms,” “acid,” prescription medications, paraphernalia and $51,000 in cash was seized from a unit at the Altessa building, on 22nd Street between Kerrigan and Summit avenues, Union City spokeswoman Erin Knoedler said.

A Union City landlord was arrested after authorities say he unlawfully evicted a tenant earlier this month and removed all of her belongings while she was out of the country.
Ron Bello, president of the real estate management company that owns a multi-family home at 508 Bergenline Ave., was charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and unlawful eviction, Union City spokeswoman Erin Knoedler said.
“No one deserves to be evicted without proper notice, have a building owner or landlord enter their apartment without their knowledge and have all of their possessions removed,” said Mayor Brian P. Stack, who filed an order to show cause a demand of a judge for a party to justify their actions against Bello on behalf of tenant Milka Camposano.
