ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Elizabeth Marie Grube, 70, and her sister, Elaine Volkert, 65, would seem to most people to be typical women of their age, living modest lives in their mobile home park just outside Stroudsburg.
But Wednesday, authorities said the two sisters had been arrested and charged with dealing heroin — about $10,000 worth apiece per week — from their trailers off Route 611 in Stroud Township. Investigators said an Allentown man, Julio Cesar Checo, 28, who also was arrested and charged, was suspected of recruiting the women. Authorities said the sisters received large shipments of heroin that they packaged into bags that sold for $10 to $20.
