$10M Drug Ring Thwarted After Police Pull Over U-Haul

Story out of Brooklyn, New York:

Detectives uncovered a $10 million Brooklyn drug operation that included liquefied pot used in e-cigarettes when they stopped a U-Haul truck stuffed with hundreds of pounds of marijuana hidden among furniture, police said Friday.

Acting on a tip from federal investigators that a large shipment of drugs was headed from the West Coast to Brooklyn, officials pulled the vehicle over outside a garage Wednesday. They discovered 300 pounds of marijuana inside, said Inspector John Benesopolis, the commanding officer of the New York Police Department’s criminal enterprise investigative division.

Police said they believe the operation was in business for at least four years and made about $10 million annually. Cont.
