12 alleged gang members arrested meth trafficking ring raids in NYC

Twelve people were arrested so far in a series of early morning raids in New York City to disrupt a large-scale methamphetamine trafficking ring.

The raids took place on Wednesday just after 6 a.m. in Washington Heights and Hamilton Heights in Manhattan, and one location in New Jersey.

The suspects, many with ties to gangs, were caught when NYPD officers and federal agents executed search warrants on Broadway, on Amsterdam Avenue, and on West 174th Street in coordinated actions.

The officers, along with agents with Homeland Security Investigations and Secret Service, were targeting the drug trafficking ring.

Charges against multiple people are expected to be unsealed in federal court in Lower Manhattan later Wednesday. They are expected to face federal drug and firearms charges.
