Father and son pot bust - Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 6:15PM EST

Police say they busted up a father-son pot dealing operation in Schuylkill County.

The arrests happened last night on Biddle Street in Gordon.

Alfonso and Hector Delao are facing drug charges.

Police say the two recently moved to Gordon from New

Tuesday night at 6:30, police pulled Alfonso Delao over when they say he was swerving in traffic.

P[olice searched the car with a k-9 dog and found 23-pounds of marijuana in a spare tire.

Police then went to Delao's Biddle Street home where they arrested his father, Hector.

Marijuana was apparently in the house as well.

Some neighbors knew something suspicious was happening and are glad there's been an arrest.

Neighbor Elmer Waldick says, "It took them a while to get them but don't let them out. Just lock them up and throw the key away."

Four other people were arrested in this bust.

They will face drug charges, too.

Police believe there could be more marijuana out there that this father-son combo were going to sell.
