A record heroin bust by the DEA that went down in New York on Sunday following an investigation of a pair of Bronx drug traffickers is the biggest in the state's history. Federal agents seized 50 million dollars worth of heroin in the affable neighborhood of Fieldston, and the alleged ringleaders, 46-year-old Jose "Hippie" Mercedes and 19-year-old Yenci Cruz Francisco, have been charged with operating as a major trafficker, along with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree facing a maximum penalty of life in prison. What does this say about the worsening heroin epidemic in the Northeastern US? We look at the story on the Lip News with Jo Ankier and Jose Marcelino Ortiz. http://www.vice.com/read/the-dea-seized-50-million-of-heroin-in-one-of-the-swankiest-neighborhoods-in-new-york-city-519 Newest Lip News playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02XdUYfBDXY&list=PLjk3H0GXhhGcjJDo6cQBCQprDMQyUQY3r&index=1 BUZZSAW interview clips - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=526NxDNkRuE&index=1&list=PLjk3H0GXhhGeWhHPas6M9sKUhThquDNOc CRIME TIME clips playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO0v327PlfU&list=PLjk3H0GXhhGeC9DbpSnIvd2i9BHh2dBvv&index=1 BYOD (Bring Your Own Doc) Highlight Videos- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CufiLDQQDMQ&list=PLjk3H0GXhhGeu2DCf6Ouo7hTsA5QB2MAL&index=1 MEDIA MAYHEM short videos playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kua9EjIWcA&index=1&list=PLjk3H0GXhhGcz4un-zws5sMlCLk3NNjDP https://www.facebook.com/thelip.tv http://www.youtube.com/theliptv
