Gates Candy Store of Brooklyn is Busted for Operating a Heroin and Cocaine Trafficking Business from Secret Back Room ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




The Gates Candy & Grocery Store in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York, sells "cold soda, ice cream, coffee, electronics, newspapers and cigarettes" to the general public.




But apparently they also sell heroin and cocaine to the not-so-general public, or at least they did up until Thursday, June 23rd, 2016, when a routine inspection of untaxed cigarettes by a New York Department of Finance inspector resulted in a top to, a warrant being secured and then a raid by the NYPD, which reportedly uncovered a major narcotics operation which trafficked in heroin and fentanyl from behind a secret back door inside of the store.




A NYPD "narcotics team" helped serve the search warrant at 9:30 am and they found what has been described as an "old school supply business".   




More than a million glassine envelopes, which are typically used to package heroin, were stuffed into 50 boxes, along with "several ziplock bags of suspected heroin" two (2) full barrels of a cutting agent, and several blue bags of what police believe to be fentanyl, which is a powerful prescription painkiller that is often used to cut and enhance heroin.  The NYPD carted out the narcotics and paraphernalia...




and loaded it all into a truck, hauling it to the lab for testing.




Two men were arrested on scene, 46 y/o Mohamad Ali of Hell's Kitchen and 33 y/o Hamdan Alsaidi of New Gardens, both of whom were charged with narcotics trafficking, drug possession and unlawful use of paraphernalia (there is no word on the status of the un-taxed cigarettes...).




Memo to Mohamad Ali and Hamdan Alsaidi:  Props on your entrepreneurial spirit, but... Heroin and Fentanyl don't mix as well with candy as, say, would marijuana. Time to revisit your business plan, as well as your location (Colorado or California would be a better location).
