Hynes, Kelly announce drug takedown in Bed-Stuy
Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes on Wednesday announced the arrest of eight drug dealers who have been operating in Bedford-Stuyvesant and the arrest of four additional individuals found with narcotics in the targeted locations.
This takedown brings to 26 the number of arrests made since July in the context of a joint long-term, multi-phase investigation conducted by the NYPD’s Brooklyn North Narcotics Major Case Team and his office’s Major Narcotics Investigations Bureau.
District Attorney Hynes said: “The circumstances of yesterday’s arrests bring to light the continuing threat that such organized drug sale activity constitutes to the children of our neighborhoods.”
