Orange County authorities
have busted a crack cocaine and heroin trafficking
ring in Newburgh and Wallkill.
Orange County District
Attorney David M. Hoovler says 11 people have been charged after a multi-agency investigation that included the Orange
County Drug Task Force.
Hoovler says undercover
investigators purchased quantities of narcotics over the course of several
months.
Nine of the
defendants were arrested and charged with crimes including criminal sale of a controlled substance in
the third degree, for the
sale of narcotics to undercover police officers. Police say they are still
looking for two men, Mackensie Arias, 22, and Rahjeem Russell,
25, who are wanted charges including criminal sale of a controlled substance
in the third degree.
