CNS News– In a significant operation targeting organized crime, law enforcement authorities in New York have dismantled a notorious drug trafficking ring known as the “Valentine Avenue Crew.” The crew, which operated in the Bronx, had terrorized the community for over a decade, running an open drug market and engaging in violent criminal activities.
The indictment of sixteen members of the Valentine Avenue Crew marks a major victory in the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime in New York City. According to U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, the crew operated with impunity, distributing fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and crack cocaine while resorting to violence to maintain control of their territory.
Since 2012, the crew has been involved in extortion, shootings, and other criminal activities, wreaking havoc on the neighborhoods they operated in. The joint takedown by law enforcement agencies aims to disrupt their criminal enterprise and hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
