Four men are now facing drug trafficking charges after 12 kilos of cocaine and nearly $100,000 in cash was discovered in the basement of a popular sports bar in Bushwick.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the men, identified as 30-year-old Daniel Camareno, from the Bronx, 31-year-old Jose Acevedo, from Queens, 29-year-old Adelfy Acevedo, from Brooklyn and 54-year-old Felipe Lopez, from Queens were stopped just before midnight on Nov. 13 as they left Punta Cana Sport Bar on Halsey Street.<\/p>\n
Police obtained a search warrant and went inside the basement of the business finding a stash of cash and drugs.<\/p>\n
Authorities said they found 12 kilos of cocaine in bricks, a money counting machine and a stack of cash in rubber bands.<\/p>\n
The investigation led police to the home of Jose Acevedo in Glendale, Queens, where a 380 caliber Smith & Wesson pistol was recovered, and a search of Camareno’s home in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx led to the discovery of ledgers, where inventories were kept and a secret compartment in a speaker, where about $100,000 in jewelry was hidden.<\/p>\n
The four men are charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n
The arrests were a result of a join investigation between the NYPD, the DEA, New York\/New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HITDA) and the Office of Special Narcotics Prosecutor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four men are now facing drug trafficking charges after 12 kilos of cocaine and nearly $100,000 in cash…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[6212,98,100,99,9449,24453,25794,9,24,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-48962","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-bar","9":"tag-brooklyn","10":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","11":"tag-brooklyn-news","12":"tag-bushwick","13":"tag-cocaine","14":"tag-drug-bust","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-city","17":"tag-nyc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
