Drug raids net 9 suspects in western, northern NY

Authorities say they've arrested nine people involved with a drug ring that smuggled marijuana from Canada and cocaine from South American into the United States via western and northern New York.

Local, county and federal law enforcement officials say raids carried out Thursday in the Niagara Falls area resulted in the arrests of six suspects while two others were taken into custody in Massena. Another was arrested in Buffalo.

Officials say the raids netted pot and cocaine, 17 firearms and more than $25,000 in cash.

Federal prosecutors say the busts resulted from the arrests in April of two Niagara Falls men accused of being the ringleaders of the drug-trafficking operation.

Officials say the two men and their associates were smuggling marijuana in from Canada and South American cocaine through Mexico.

 

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
