Three people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a "middle-level" heroin trafficking operation on Jamestown's eastside.  City Police Captain Bob Samuelson says Jamestown officers and members of the State Police C-NET Team had been conducting surveillance on an apartment at 241 Crescent Street the past several weeks.  However... just as they were preparing to raid the home about 1 p.m. Tuesday... officers spotted the main suspect -- 27 year-old Jensen Vazquez -- and a woman... leaving the apartment to allegedly distribute a large amount of heroin.  Vazquez was found with a "large quantity" of heroin in his possession.  Samuelson says he and the woman, 22 year-old Selena Hare, were both charged with Felony third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.  He adds investigators found the 27 year-old Vazquez with about 170 doses of heroin in his possession.  He says both Vazquez and Hare were taken to the city lock-up.  The JPD SWAT Team then entered the apartment... and, arrested 25 year-old Janelle Cornelius.  They also found more packaged heroin inside.  Samuelson says the investigation is continuing.  He says anyone with information about the sale or possession of illegal narcotics can contact JPD's anonymous tip-line at 483-TIPS... that's 483-8477.
