DA busts Riverhead drug, guns and counterfeit bills ring | Riverhead News Review: "gang-related cocaine dealing, cash counterfeiting and weapons trafficking ring that operated mostly in the Riverhead area has been busted, its 23 alleged members rounded up and arrested, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said Thursday.
The operation, connected with members of the Doctors Path Flames, a faction of the “Bloods” gang, allegedly distributed $20,000 worth of cocaine in the area each week and printed thousands of $20 counterfeit bills, which were sold for 10 cents on the dollar.
Search warrants were executed at 10 locations late last month where members of the East End Drug Task Force recovered half a kilo of coke, $2,000 in counterfeit bills, three illegal handguns — one of which was used in two shootings in Riverhead — and gear that suggested members were planning to impersonate police officers, Mr. Spota said.
“This shows you right here in Riverhead…we have bad, bad people,” he said."
