25 arrested in Nyack cocaine raid
25 people, including a 68-year-old man, were arrested in early-morning raids on an apartment complex and senior-citizen facility located in Nyack. Police used wiretaps and video surveillance to collect the information on the group, apparently known as the “Building 3 Crew”, who were ultimately found in possession of large amounts of drugs, money, and guns. Granted, this occurred in Nyack, but we in the neighboring second safest city are certainly glad that a geographic boundary on a map sets us apart from these thugs. We especially look forward to see how justice is served in these 25 cases, since apparently a number of them have prior arrests.
Update 11-Apr-2008: the number of indictments associated with this drug bust has risen to 27. The bust also garnered the praise of the DEA, who released more details about the bust in their press release. According to the press release, the operation resulted in the seizure of an impressive cache of drugs and guns: 4 kilograms of heroin, 10 decks of heroin, 3 ½ kilograms of cocaine, scales and drug packaging material, a .25 Caliber Beretta handgun, $31,000 of US Currency, 5 handguns, handcuffs, bullet proof vests and ammunition. Sounds like a pretty serious operation. Again, it’s a good thing we have the mall as a buffer between Nyack and the second safest city.
