Two people were arrested Thursday following a months-long investigation into an alleged cocaine trafficking operation in West Lawn, according to the Berks County District Attorney’s Office.
Antonio Kreiser, 41, and Treva Florence, 41, both of the 2100 block of Penn Avenue in West Lawn, were taken into custody October 15 after investigators executed search warrants at their residence.
According to authorities, the Berks County District Attorney’s Drug Task Force began investigating the suspected cocaine trafficking operation in February 2026. Detectives identified the West Lawn residence as a primary meeting location and distribution hub for illegal cocaine sales.
On October 14, Magisterial District Judge Ann L. Young authorized search warrants for the residence and Kreiser’s person. Investigators executed the warrants the following day, locating both suspects inside the home. Both were taken into custody without incident.
During the search, detectives seized approximately 27 bags of cocaine with an estimated street value of $8,000, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Investigators also recovered cutting agents commonly used to dilute narcotics for resale, packaging materials consistent with drug distribution, and a quantity of unidentified pills that are pending laboratory analysis.
Authorities also seized approximately $1,000 in cash believed to be proceeds from illegal drug sales.
Kreiser and Florence were transported to the Berks County Sheriff’s Central Processing Center, where they were processed, photographed and fingerprinted.
Both defendants face charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and criminal conspiracy.
Secured bail was set at $25,000 for Kreiser and $10,000 for Florence.
