DA issues indictment on opioid peddling South Brooklyn drug ring
Led by a Brooklyn demolition worker, 11 members of a drug ring that peddled fentanyl-laced heroin and cocaine throughout southern Brooklyn were slapped with a 273-count indictment on Wednesday.
From morning to night, seven days a week, members of the ring allegedly coordinated using one cellphone, packaged and stored drugs in various locations and delivered in both wholesale- and street-level quantities, prosecutors said.
The drugs delivered in Sheepshead Bay, Coney Island, Gerritsen Beach, Sunset Park, Bay Ridge and Staten Island made the alleged traffickers about $17,000 a week from June 6, 2017 to Jan. 20, 2018.
