Current Event 3/10 "Bronx, NYC Drug Raids"


     
Authorities said the reach of the Bronx gangs eventually extended outside the borough, into Manhattan and North Jersey.

       The NYPD did their job Wednesday, by conducting raids in multiple drug rings in different areas

of New York and discovering more than they thought.  
   
       After 20 months of investigation, the NYPD made 31 arrests and found nine kilos of cocaine,

two kilos of heroin, two kilos of fetanyl, 889 grams of crack cocaine and $260,000 in cash.  
   
       The items confiscated during the raids all belonged to the members of multiple drug gangs in

NYC: the Eden Boys, Miami Ave., UGZ and RGZ. They have all been linked to public shootings,

robberies and selling of narcotics around the New York area.
   
         Within the 31 arrests, eight where convicted as "major traffickers." These major ring leaders

extended their business into Manhattan and North Jersey as well.
   
         After these arrests Wednesday there have been five more arrests of other expected enforcers in

this illegal gang corporation.

        New York forcers stay on this case as more and more suspects arise each time they bring another

in for  questioning.
 
        The total amount of money recovered, drugs worth included, was around $31 million.
