Lower Saucon Township police reported Oct. 11 they, in conjunction with county and other local departments, arrested two women and one man in Hellertown on numerous charges stemming from the manufacture and sale of methamphetamines.

Police said the investigation took four months.

Samantha Cook, 21, Amanda Bauder-Bowen, 26, and Keith Hammerstone, 31, were arrested at 1767 Railroad Lane on charges including possession, sale and manufacturing controlled substances, criminal conspiracy and risking a catastrophe (for the typically hazerdous meth production).

All three were committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $75,000 bail.
