[NY] Cops nab $10 million worth of heroin after tailing drug suspects in the Bronx

Cops nab $10 million worth of heroin after tailing drug suspects in the Bronx
February 25, 2011 - nydailynews.com



Cops tailing two drug suspects in the Bronx blew open a black-bag operation - $10 million worth of heroin packed into a duffle.

Andy Moscat, 28, and Francisco Ramirez, 41, were nabbed in a bust of one of the largest smack-trafficking rings in the area by the State Police.

"These big seizures are definitely more common now than they were. Even one kilo of heroin would have been a rare find five years ago," Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan said yesterday.

The duo were indicted on the heels of another major takedown in which the feds broke up a heroin mill, in the shadow of Manhattan's Theater District, seizing $6.5 million of the drug.

Brennan said drug dealers are moving from cocaine to heroin distribution because it's lighter to transport and more profitable.

A second factor is demand. The rise in abuse of prescription drugs - many of which are opiates - has some seeking out heroin as a cheaper alternative.

In the Bronx case, Ramirez and Moscat were arrested last Saturday after a long-term undercover probe.

Cops watched Moscat climb out of a car driven by Ramirez, go into 2526 Bronx Park East and return with a large bag that he shoved into a second parked vehicle.

Cops moved in and found 40 pounds of heroin packed into bricks in the bag. They seized paraphernalia for a wholesale drug packaging mill and a .9 mm Beretta handgun from an apartment.

They also found $38,000 in cash and diamond-encrusted jewelry in Moscat's Yonkers apartment.

Moscat was cuffed as he tried to flee on foot. Ramirez smashed the car he drove into a State Police vehicle.

I have a huge feeling we will soon begin to feel the affects of all these bust lately. They have made more bust recently than the usual, I think we will beging to see the price of drugs rise dramticly here with in the next 6 months or so. The coke and other shit I've seen has been turning into shit. The quality has dropped dramticly, I assume it will only get worse. That's okay because I have be clean now for a few years, I'm just going by what my inner city street friends are telling me. They are from NC, so if you see other wise let me know.

You know on those little question-air's where they have choices for responding to a statement?  Well i STRONGLY DISAGREE with this statement.  Although 40 pounds of heroin is A LOT!!!  In comparison with the amount of heroin that does make it to the streets of New York it's insignificant.

I agree. Police would more likely have to intercept 40lbs a day in order to see a distinct affect on the availability of heroin.

How much dope does it take to fuel all of NYC for a day? What's your best estimate?

I have no idea for heroin... i would have to estimate the number of users and then decide how much the average addict uses and then translate that to weight.

- A better question is how much weight in Weed, Coke/Crack, Heroin, Meth, MDMA/Ketamine, Prescription opiates/benzos/speed is consumed in NYC in a single day... A LOT

- How many drug transactions occur every day in NYC for the weight to move... A LOT

- Then on top of that how many shots, beers, mixed drinks NYC consumes in a single day... A LOT

- In total how much money is bought/sold everyday for the use of all those drugs/alcohol in a single day in NYC... $1,000,000.00 and then some

Insignificant ??? I don't think so. These 40 pounds of most certainly clean product represent 400 to 800 pounds (if not more...)  at street level, so it makes quite a bunch of users who won't get their daily stuff for some time.

Irie !

It would rob the people of a solace in discomfort, of a cure in sickness, of a guardian whose gracious protection saves them from the attacks of evil influences, and whose mightly power makes the devotee of the Victorious, overcoming the demons of hunger and thirst, of panic, fear, of the glamour of Maya or matter, and of madness, able in rest to brood on the Eternal, till the Eternal,possessing him body and soul, frees him from the haunting of self and receives him into the Ocean of Being."
