Newark Resident Charged After Cross-Border Drug Investigation

Delaware State Police arrested 42-year-old Roberto Campusano-Campusano, of Newark, Delaware, on June 4, 2026, following a multi-agency investigation into drug distribution across Delaware and Maryland, dsp.delaware.gov reported on Saturday.

The probe began in March 2026, when the Delaware State Police Special Investigations Unit and the Cecil County Drug Taskforce opened an inquiry after receiving information that Campusano-Campusano was selling narcotics in both states. Over the course of the investigation, detectives established that he regularly travelled between Delaware and Maryland to conduct drug transactions.

Although Campusano-Campusano resided in Newark, investigators determined he used a property in the 100 block of Delamore Place in Wilmington to support his dealing operation.

On June 4, members of the Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team assisted detectives in executing a search warrant at the Wilmington residence. Campusano-Campusano was taken into custody without incident.

During the search, detectives recovered approximately 3.45 grams of suspected heroin, 2.74 grams of suspected crack cocaine, and 1.21 grams of suspected cocaine. Officers also seized drug paraphernalia, packaging materials, and more than $6,000 in suspected drug proceeds.

Campusano-Campusano was transported to Troop 2, where he was charged with multiple offences, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $46,100 cash bond.

Any individual charged in this release is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
