Five arrested for selling drugs, guns out of neighborhood pharmacy
Medicaid fraud scheme also charged
Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes on Wednesday announced the arrests of five people on charges of selling heroin, cocaine and guns out of a neighborhood pharmacy.
Three of those arrested worked at Malik Pharmacy at 2981 Fulton St. Two of the employees (along with the other man and woman who did not work at the pharmacy) organized sales of heroin, cocaine and guns from inside the store, according to the charges. The third employee allegedly ran a Medicaid fraud scheme from behind the pharmacy counter.
The arrests were made on Monday, May 20.
“The commitment of resources that resulted in Monday’s arrests is representative of my office’s longstanding commitment to those Brooklyn residents and Brooklyn taxpayers who rightfully demand safety as they enjoy our thriving business and residential communities, and who demand a public health care system with integrity,” said Hynes.
