(SUFFOLK COUNTY, N.Y.) – Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) and the DEA’s Long Island Heroin Task Force yesterday announced the indictment of 15 individuals in connection with an alleged drug distribution ring operating in Suffolk County.
“My Office has made it clear that gangs and drugs have no place in our communities,” District Attorney Sini said. “We will continue to target, arrest and prosecute dangerous gang members and their associates – particularly those who are peddling poison on our streets – to the fullest extent of the law. Together with our partners at the DEA and on the Long Island Heroin Task Force, we have not taken our foot off the pedal in our investigation and prosecution of these bad actors, even in the midst of a pandemic. I thank all of the law enforcement agencies involved for their work on this case and their continued partnership to keep Long Island safe from gangs.”
