EAST NORTPORT, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- Authorities have arrested a "large-scale marijuana dealer" in Suffolk County, Police Commissioner Tim Sini announced Thursday.

Authorities executed a search warrant at a home on Larkfield Road in East Northport, where Sini said they seized 106 pounds of marijuana and a loaded illegal shotgun.

"You're dealing with large scale marijuana traffickers -- they attract violence, they often attract home invasions because there's a lot of money in this business," Sini said.
