Alleged heroin dealers busted for distributing dope in Queens, Brooklyn
Five alleged heroin dealers, who used luxury vehicles as code names for their high-purity wares, were indicted for distributing the drug throughout Queens and Brooklyn, federal prosecutors announced on Wednesday.
Law enforcement agents executed a search warrant on three of the alleged dealers’ homes, two of their vehicles and two additional stash houses. The agents found over four kilograms of heroin, three firearms — including one with a defaced serial number — more than $100,000 in U.S. currency and various drug paraphernalia, including more than 10,000 glassine envelopes, prosecutors said.
A sixth defendant was arrested and charged with possessing heroin as part of the operation.
