Special United States Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan called today's (Tuesday, May 19th, 2015) heroin seizure the largest ever recorded by the D.E.A. in New York state. Per AUSA Brennan: "To put it in perspective, this load was so large it carried the potential of supplying a dose of heroin to every man, woman and child in New York City."
Reportedly according to the federal criminal complaint, DEA Agents who had been monitoring wiretaps learned that Jose Mercedes and Yenci Cruz Francisco, both of the Bronx, were expecting a large drug shipment over the weekend, so they followed the two suspects as they traveled in tandem in a Chevy suburban and another vehicle to an industrial area of Montville, New Jersey, where tractor-trailers were parked, and then to a residential part of the Bronx. After a K-9 detected drugs inside the parked SUV, and as he pulled up in a car that contained a smaller amount of heroin, agents stopped Mercedes for questioning. Mercedes reportedly told agents that there was a larger amount of drugs in the SUV and then gave them instructions as to how to open secret compartments inside the vehicle. A search of the Suburban resulted in the recovery of about 154 pounds of heroin inside two compartments, and a separate search at a nearby apartment turned up $2,000,000.00 in cash.
Authorities believe that the ring had been receiving similar-size shipments each month from suppliers in Mexico, and they say that this was a main source of heroin for users in New York City, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
That's a lot of dope and a lot of cash, and, not withstanding their cooperation, Jose Mercedes and Yenci Cruz Francisco are looking at a lot of time. Don't do the crime if you can;t do the time... Don't do it.
