Two Arrested, Heroin Valued at $200,000 Seized at Corona Home
Police confiscated what they described as $200,000 worth of heroin and arrested two people at their home on Corona’s west side Thursday.
Ivan Calderon, 39, and Marihelen Calderon, 31, were arrested at their Via Bernardo home and booked on charges of narcotics possession and narcotics possession for sale, said Lt. Gary Salyer, commander of the Corona Police Department’s investigations division.
Police transferred the pair to Riverside County Jail, where they were each held on $1 million bail.
Salyer did not release an estimate of the quantity of heroin seized, but he placed its street value at approximately $200,000. Officers searching the Calderon residence also found small amounts of marijuana and phencyclidine, which is more commonly known as PCP, Salyer said.
The raid and arrests followed an investigation of “several months’ ” duration, he added.
