Larry Sieff, a 72-year-old man from Lower Burrell, is facing criminal charges after a drug investigation. The North Huntingdon Police Department alleges Sieff was involved in transporting and selling substantial amounts of heroin and fentanyl.

During these operations, undercover officers purchased multiple "bricks" of heroin and fentanyl from Sieff. In one instance, Sieff kept two bricks for himself as payment for arranging the transaction. Sieff also facilitated a separate deal involving crack cocaine.
All recovered narcotics are undergoing laboratory analysis. An active arrest warrant has been issued for Sieff's arrest.
