The arrests late Friday afternoon were announced Saturday in a release by the New York office of the Drug Enforcement Administration along with city and state police.
The authorities say the arrests broke up a drug ring that each week sold hundreds of thousands of small bags of drugs. Authorities say $150,000 in cash was also seized in the raid.
According to the release, the drugs were distributed in New Jersey and New York.
