More than 250 pounds of various drugs worth roughly $24 million were seized in a major Bronx bust as a top Drug Enforcement Administration federal agent warned New York is “under siege” with a flood of deadly drugs.
About 110 kilograms of heroin, fentanyl and cocaine, in addition to 50 pounds of crystal meth and up to another 75,000 counterfeit pills believed to contain fentanyl were confiscated from a stash apartment in the Mount Hope neighborhood, authorities said.
“Data doesn’t lie, New York is under siege by criminal drug networks flooding our city streets with fentanyl, killing people at record rates,” said DEA Special Agent-in-Charge Frank Tarentino.
“This significant seizure proves that today’s traffickers have all the ingredients to make toxic cocktails for retail sales, deliberately blinding the users of what they are really getting.”
In statements, NYC’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan said the apartment served as an “Amazon warehouse” for lethal drugs in the city while Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark and NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell both referred to the drugs as poison.
“This seizure illustrates what we are up against in the Bronx with traffickers bringing vast amounts of poisonous drugs that devastate communities here and in the metropolitan area,” Clark said.
Once authorities from a DEA task force that involves local, state and federal officers entered the home Monday evening, they arrested Mota Plasencia after he fled to the back of the unit. Officers found him with about 20 kilos of narcotics nearby, authorities said.
Plasencia, 39, was charged with operating as a major trafficker and two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance as bags of drugs were found throughout the apartment.

Aw christ...
Now AOC will have to get an Uber to Queens for her nose candy.
Yike!
But I thought drugs were against the law. Surely New Yorkers who are overwhelmingly in favor of gun control would not but dangerous illegal drugs.

Let me guess....the perps are already free?
I think that’s the libtard plan - replace the junkies with illegals 🤪
