Authorities say $3.5 million worth
of cocaine was found stashed in a Morris Park apartment on Monday night.
Three people are now facing drug charges after narcotic agents conducted
a raid on the Hone Avenue
apartment after watching Jose Velez, who
was identified as one of the suspects.
Over 10 kilograms of cocaine, two firearms, and $325,000 in cash were
retrieved, according to authorities.
Investigators say Velez was conducting a drug operation by getting the drugs
from Puerto Rico.
They also say two underage children were in the apartment when they arrived.
Along with Velez, two other
people were arrested. Velez’s charges include operating as a major trafficker.
