Heroin Mega Bust in New York Sets Record



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

  1. heroin production gone up sine 9/11 and a new epidemics in us hmmmmm wonder why?
  2. these idiots obviously know NOTHING about the drug. "it's not as easy to go in the bathroom and do Heroin" can sniff it aLITERALLY anywhere. I've DONE IT NEXT TO A COP AT A STOP LIGHT. HELL I'VE DONE IT INSIDE A COURTHOUSE. take just a second and just as quick as popping a pill.

    thank whatever God you choose I seen what the shit shit was doing to me and was able to get clean with the help of the VA. But but its still a serious issue and it's hysterical how much incorrect info is spread by "media outlets" that don't know shit about the drug
  3. I could probly take a shot of heroin faster then filling a glass a popping pills
  4. Just kill all fucking latinos and mexicans. VIVA Italia and Italians death to colored scum. KKK
  5. lol a dip in the sales of heroin in NY I just did heroin a month minute ago I'm in BK NY
  6. Do what Switzerland are doing if they want heroin give it to them, you don't have girls selling there pussy, you don't have people stealing from houses and family, if a heroin addict wants to take heroin, NO one will stop them.
  7. get the money kings
  8. these two guys may have been busted with 70 kilos that way the dea wouldnt notice the 200+ kilos that made it through down the road tht day.. these cartels dont mess around.. and neither does our government.. if our government didnt have a use for these cartels then they would have been wiped out a long time ago..its obvious that our government benefits in some big way from the drug trade and also the war on drugs continuing.. think about all the money that is spent every year in the name of fighting drugs.. n nothing comes from it..except death,disease,jails filled n family destruction.. i say end the war on drugs and regulate all drug use. takes care of the whole problem..
  9. drop in the sand compared to what our own government smuggles in
  10. the biggest shipments actually don't get busted.
  11. So on the other hand that's how many DRUG ADDICTS in the US? What are they doing for those sick people?
  12. people being charged with non violet crimes
  13. Build the wall and get rid of the illegals. They make the good legals look bad.
  14. cops are not going to try to save the life of a junkie they will watch them die.
    unless you are a blond with big tits and you smell & taste like french vanilla ice cream other then that your fucked
  15. im looking for the ehoe guude
  16. its funny the reporter says this will put a big dent in the operation. what they dont realize is that shipments like this come in every day of the week
  17. I've done the math another video on this same bust with the same quote about dosing 1 dose per person and this is not worth 50 million dollars. at 100$ a gram it's worth just under 8 million
  18. I should start a youtube channel with just positive shit and ways to bring us together. Fuck a rap video and all shit. They. say Heroin is at epidemic proportion, man being black trying to duck a motherfuckin bullet from a cop or somebody that look like you is at epicdemic proportion..
  19. That ws 4 u Big Jay 4got to put your name.
  20. @Brandon Murpgt Im shocked and proud that u didnt wild me on disrespectful shit and you felt me. Shouts out to you. But I could tell that 1 you r intelligent and 2 you have a vast amount of knowledge on the subject you was speaking on, but yo, dont it seem like the whole is in an uproar? Man to stop this shit we need each other.. And if you got it my dude, spread it man. I. dont give a fuck if you black brown. white blue or whatever. Yo we owe them babies and children coming up. My daughter 5 yo, and I buried my son at 19. Im just tired. Lately I been vibin of dat J. Cole " there's beauty in the struggle nigga and I pray man that a generation come along man thats gonna get along.
