Kristen Oswald, of Royersford, Montgomery County, died during an Ironman triathlon in Ohio on Sunday after being struck by a commercial truck struck while she was cycling on the course.
Police in West Philadelphia seized approximately $20,000 in heroin over the weekend.
The 19th District — which includes Haddington, Carroll Park, and Wynnefield — tweeted a photo of the apprehended drugs late Saturday night.
The tweet, which calls the bust "Operation Pin Point," shows a large sack containing small bags of the drug.

In February, 11 people were arrested in Kensington in a multi-agency initiative that led to search warrants in 13 homes and 15 vehicles. Police seized nearly $2 million worth of drugs and 170,000 doses of heroin in what was called the "Kensington Initiative."
We reached out to the 19th District for more details and we'll update this story when we hear back.
