920 kilos of cocaine headed for NYC found in lawn equipment
[NYPOST] More than a ton of cocaine headed for the Big Apple was found stashed in metal lawn rollers when authorities recently busted a trio of narcos, officials said Tuesday.Authorities said the 920 kilograms of coke represents the biggest seizure of cocaine destined for New York City in more than a decade."A multimillion-dollar storm of cocaine was seized before it could wreak havoc in the Northeast," DEA Special Agent in Charge Ray Donovan said in a statement. "This seizure signifies a shift in the illegal drug landscape in New York with cocaine seizures rising more than 150% in the last year." Suspected drug pushers Jorge Aponte-Guzman, Nelson Agramonte-Minaya and Carlos Maisonet-Lopez were busted in September after Aponte-Guzman drove a rental van to a New Jersey loading dock and picked up 460 kilos of blow, prosecutors said.
