Authorities got quite a surprise early Monday morning when they found six men in Elmhurst unloading cardboard boxes filled with more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana, valued at over $3.5 million.
Brooklyn residents Duanzhao Zhang, 38, Tong Shun Zhang, 29, and Tong Zhew Zhang, 24; Weiyang Yao, 47, and Yuejiang Zeng, 53, of California; and Shan Wu Zhang, 30, of Canada were arrested on Oct. 5 and are all currently awaiting arraignment in Queens Criminal Court on charges of criminal possession of marijuana.
According to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, members of the DEA’s New York Drug Enforcement Task Force were in the vicinity of 50-22 Ireland St. in Elmhurst at about 1:25 a.m. on Monday when they saw the six men unloading cardboard boxes from a 18-wheel semi-tractor trailer into a small U-Haul truck and another smaller cargo van.
When the officers approached the vehicles, they were allegedly “overwhelmed by a strong odor of marijuana” which was coming from the tractor trailer and the boxes being transferred to the smaller cars.
The agents then allegedly saw seven large pallets holding cardboard boxes stacked at least 6 feet high in the tractor trailer, according to Brown. It is estimate that the boxes held more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana packaged in vacuum-sealed plastic bags.
“The defendants are accused of removing cartons of marijuana stacked 6 feet high from a tractor trailer across the street from the Good Fortune Supermarket in Elmhurst when confronted by law enforcement,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said. “The defendants, who hail from California, Canada and Brooklyn, made a mistake by stopping in Queens County to distribute their illegal wares. They now face serious drug charges.”
Along with the marijuana, the men were also found with between $200,000 and $300,000 stacked and bundled inside the three vehicles.
“The seizure and arrests surprised us just as much as it surprised the defendants when arrested. However, it shows that law enforcement agents and officers possess the keen ability to spot the things that don’t belong,” said James J. Hunt, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) New York Division. “In this case, the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force spotted and seized over $3.5 million dollars’ worth of marijuana that was destined to be trafficked throughout NYC.”

Well this is all the proof i need that the nsa is providing information to all the other alphabet agencies.
I mean really dea agents just happened to be walking the street for an unrelated reason at 1:25AM. They then see people unloading a truck and stop what they were there doing so they could go say hello. THEN only after conveniently smelling weed they search the truck and discover 3,000lb of weed.
Not buying that for a second.
Other then that you can tell that it was the dea and not cops because they don't use cop math and actually quoted a fair price for the drugs. $1200 a lb sounds awesome as long as its not dirt weed.

I love seeing LE sucking each others dicks like this. What a bunch of wankers. Like Dr. Funtime said, it's almost certainly complete bullshit too.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.
