Millions of dollars in illegal drugs taken off NYC streets after two major Bronx drug busts
Local residents tell News 12 that while they are grateful for the shutdowns, they believe that other stores with the same intentions of selling drugs will replace them
Two Bronx businesses were shut down in the matter of a week after the NYC Sheriff's Office discovered millions of dollars worth of illegal drugs.
Authorities found over 170 pounds and $1 million in cannabis products and other drugs such as mushroom products at the Family Deli located at 4011 East Tremont Ave.
Just this past weekend, over 1,700 pounds and $10 million of similar products were seized at a business located on Timpson Avenue in Mott Haven. A mother and local resident who did not want to appear on camera says the shop didn't allow her to feel safe in her own neighborhood.
