Record-breaking drug bust in NYC shuts down major heroin supplier in Massachusetts, Connecticut: DEA
    #21703680 - 05/20/15 07:21 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2015/05/record-breaking_nyc_heroin_arr.html

Federal agents and New York City police announced on Tuesday a record-breaking heroin arrest with more than 150 pounds of the drug, worth $50 million on the street, and $2 million in cash seized from a location in the Bronx.

Some of the drugs were likely headed for Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.

Officials with the Drug Enforcement Agency said suspects involved in the operation were "a main source of heroin for customers throughout the five boroughs, as well as Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island."

According to the DEA, New York City is considered a major hub for heroin distribution in the Northeast. The drug is transported into Connecticut, Western Massachusetts and Vermont via Interstate 91.

The DEA and NYC police said the result of the year-long joint investigation is the arrest of two men and seizure of drugs and money are a significant dent in the Northeast heroin trade.
The 70 kilograms of heroin, equal to 154 pounds, is the largest ever seized in New York State and fourth highest for the United States.

Two men, Jose A. "Hippie" Mercedes of Yonkers, 47, and Yenci Cruz Francisco, 19, of the Bronx, were each charged with a single count of operating as a major trafficker.

Officials said Mercedes was the head of a distribution ring that was working with the Mexico-based Sinaloa Cartel to bring large amounts of heroin each month from Culican, Mexico into New York, according to officials. A court-ordered wiretap of Mercedes' phone revealed a large delivery was coming into New York over the weekend, and police moved in to intercept it, officials said.

The drugs, a total of 70 rectangular-shaped packages of heroin, stamped "Rolex", and $24,000 in cash were found inside a Chevrolet Suburban parked in front of 210 West 251st St, where Francisco lived.

"Seventy kilograms of heroin was intended to be distributed throughout the Northeast"
-- DEA special agent James Hunt
Mercedes was arrested when he arrived at the scene, and Francisco was arrested when he got in the Suburban and started the ignition. A search of Francisco's apartment revealed $2 million in cash hidden under the floorboards.

"Seventy kilograms of heroin was intended to be distributed throughout the Northeast," said James Hunt, DEA special agent in charge of the New York Division.

Bridget G. Brennan, Special Drug Prosecutor for New York City said the $50 million figure is a conservative estimate for the street value of the drug. It also does not fully demonstrate the amount of the drug or its potential impact.

"This load was so large it carried the potential of supplying a dose of heroin to every man, woman and child in New York City," she said. "While this important seizure stopped a huge amount of heroin from flooding our city, it also highlights the critical need to intercept heroin before it ever reaches our region."

Raymond R. Parmer, Jr. special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New York said "These millions of doses of heroin and millions of dollars represent much more than just a seizure. They represent violence, overdoses, crime, death and the suffering of our communities."

State, federal and local law enforcement remains committed to combating the heroin epidemic, he said.

Springfield police spokesman Sgt. John Delaney, reached for comment, said "The Springfield Police Department over the past several months have been arresting heroin dealers in record numbers and getting huge amounts of Heroin off the streets. This mammoth seizure in New York combined with all the fantastic work taking place here in Western Massachusetts will definitely have an impact. Now we need to get the individuals hooked on this evil drug help with rehabilitation and we will see crime drop dramatically in the Northeast corridor."

Mercedes and Francisco denied the charges at their arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court. They were each ordered held without bail pending their next court date on Friday.

All a record breaking bust shows is that there is more heroin being moved in the US than there was in the past.  The only people that should be celebrating this bust are rival heroin suppliers
