Drug Situation: New York City has long been home to numerous drug trafficking organizations. The city’s large, diverse, multi-class population creates a demand that these organizations are more than willing to serve. New York City also acts as the source for organizations that smuggle drugs to other East Coast destinations and to Canada and Europe. Due to successful drug initiatives and enforcement operations undertaken in the New York metropolitan area, many drug traffickers are moving their illegal operations to the upcity region to earn greater profits, elude law enforcement, and avoid competition from rival drug groups.

Cocaine: Colombia-based distributors continue to supply New York’s top cocaine rings, dominated by Dominican violators. These traffickers regularly smuggle multi-hundred kilogram shipments of cocaine to New York and then distribute the cocaine in smaller amounts through many networks in the metropolitan area. New York City based cocaine distribution organizations also serve as the source of supply to organizations operating throughout the eastern United citys. Most of the cocaine entering New York is smuggled in by vehicles from large distribution centers in border areas (Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida). Mexican violators are prominent in this large scale cocaine transportation, and also are becoming involved in local wholesale distribution. Cocaine is also a significant problem in Albany and western New York city. Most cocaine distributors in the Albany area have connections to sources in New York City, but some direct links have been found with Florida and Puerto Rico. Seizures of wholesale amounts in Buffalo are frequently made at the airport and train station and weigh from one-half to four kilograms each.

Crack cocaine is readily available in economically depressed areas in all major New York cities, along with some suburban and semi-rural areas, and is occasionally a source of violence in upcity cities. Such violence usually occurs when new dealers challenge more established dealers over territory.

Heroin: Heroin is readily available from Colombian, ethnic Chinese, and Dominican organizations operating in the New York metropolitan area. Most of the heroin available is of South American origin and Colombia-based traffickers bring some of the purest heroin in the world to the streets of New York, utilizing the same distribution methods and money-laundering techniques they perfected in capturing the cocaine market. In some cases, the same organizations are distributing both cocaine and heroin. Much of the Colombian heroin is smuggled into New York by couriers and ingesters arriving at JFK Airport, on direct flights from Colombia, or after stopovers in Central or South America, or the Caribbean. Colombian heroin trafficking organizations have also developed increasingly sophisticated smuggling methods, including use of cargo shipments, soaking heroin into clothing, and chemically impregnating heroin into plastic, which is then molded into common shapes. The heroin is subsequently recovered using chemical extraction processes. Colombian heroin is also smuggled to New York via Mexico and then by vehicle from the southwest United citys, similar to the cocaine route. The heroin trafficking and abuse problem is increasing in upcity New York. Dealers in upcity regions often buy heroin in New York City and then return to their home areas via auto, bus, or train. Most heroin sold upcity is first cut and packaged in New York City and then recut and repackaged locally. Currently, some of the high-purity products are finding their way directly to users who are often unaccustomed to the strength. Buffalo is also a port of entry for Southeast Asian heroin from Toronto en route to New York City and Detroit.

Methamphetamine: While methamphetamine trafficking and abuse in New York city is a less serious problem when compared to heroin, cocaine, crack, and MDMA, there are indicators that the problem is increasing. New York has a somewhat bifurcated methamphetamine market. In the New York City area, the market is primarily for crystal methamphetamine sourced from the West Coast of the United citys. Use is not widespread, although it is increasing among some subculture groups, especially gay males. The upcity market is primarily methamphetamine powder supplied by local clandestine labs, which are becoming more common. Seizures of low yield, small methamphetamine labs have been increasing in rural New York since 2000, especially in the counties south of Syracuse.

Club Drugs: New York continues to experience high levels of importation, trafficking, and abuse of MDMA (Ecstasy). Belgium and the Netherlands remain the main locations for manufacturing and exporting MDMA. Currently, organized crime groups, many controlled by Israeli traffickers, dominate the importation and distribution of MDMA in New York. They differ somewhat from more traditionally structured organized criminal groups and exist as loose confederations rather than organizations with a rigid hierarchical structure. However, many established heroin and cocaine trafficking organizations have entered the MDMA market because of the high profit margin. Within New York, wholesale quantity transactions typically occur in residences, and at the retail level, the drug is sold to users at nightclubs or raves. Almost all MDMA pills are sold with logos stamped on, creating brands for users to seek out. Many of those brands are specifically designed to appeal to teenagers. Other dangerous drugs, while available, are less prominent problems in New York City.

Marijuana: Most of the marijuana entering the New York City area, and some upcity regions, is smuggled via air freight or auto/truck transport from Florida or the Southwestern United citys. Significant amounts also arrive via commercial overnight package services. Jamaican criminal organizations are most prominent in moving marijuana from Texas and Arizona to New York. Upcity regions receive marijuana from the Southwestern United citys, and there are continuous reports of local indoor grow operations. Canada is also a source for a significant quantity of marijuana entering New York city, primarily indoor grow marijuana.

DEA Response: DEA’s New York Field Division works closely with federal, city, and local law enforcement agencies to dismantle major drug trafficking organizations importing and/or trafficking drugs in New York city. In May 2003, DEA/New York, working with FBI, ICE, NYPD and People’s Republic of China (PRC) law enforcement authorities, culminated a two-year investigation with the largest simultaneous joint enforcement operation in the history of U.S.-Chinese law enforcement. The investigation, named Operation CITY LIGHTS, targeted a Chinese organization trafficking multi-hundred units of heroin to New York and the United citys. The organization was dismantled when more than 13 units of heroin were seized and more than 35 people were arrested worldwide in an unprecedented example of U.S./PRC cooperation. In October 2003, DEA/New York, along with numerous other U.S. and international law enforcement agencies, completely dismantled a European based MDMA trafficking organization. The organization was responsible for the trafficking and distribution of MDMA from the Netherlands to the United citys. The investigation culminated in the seizure of 650,000 tablets of MDMA, approximately 42,000 Euros, 20 kilograms of cocaine, and the arrest of 43 targets. The Government of the Dominican Republic government was instrumental in the arrest of several of these targets, currently awaiting extradition to the United citys. In December 2003, a DEA/New York investigation was culminated with over 30 arrests and the complete dismantling of an extremely violent drug robbery crew active since 1998. The crew was responsible for distributing multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine and heroin in the New York metropolitan area and obtained a large amount of their cocaine and heroin by committing violent home invasion robberies of other drug dealers, often in large apartment buildings, endangering the public. Usually armed during the robberies, members of the organization subdued, restrained, assaulted, and tortured victims. The crew was responsible for over 93 drug related robberies. In February 2004, a joint DEA/New York and Internal Revenue Service investigation culminated New York’s most extensive methamphetamine investigation in several years with the arrest of eight individuals in Operation CHELSEA CONNECTION. Overall, during the seven month investigation 15 arrests were made, and 17 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and $312,000 in cash and bank accounts were seized, dismantling the highest level crystal methamphetamine organization active in New York City.

DEA/New York currently has 631 employees and 199 city/Local Deputized Task Force Officers stationed in eight cities and towns in the city of New York.

DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams: This cooperative program with city and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. There have been 409 deployments completed resulting in 16,763 arrests of violent drug criminals as of February 2004. There have been 19 MET deployments in the city of New York since the inception of the program: Niagara Falls, Southampton, Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Amsterdam, Utica, Monticello, Watertown, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Mt. Vernon, Liberty, Hempstead, Spring Valley, Fallsburg, Geneva, and Kingston.

DEA Regional Enforcement Teams: This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by targeting drug organizations operating in the United citys where there is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This Program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United citys. Nationwide, there have been 22 deployments completed resulting in 608 arrests of drug trafficking criminals as of February 2004. There have been no RET deployments in the city of New York.

Special Topics: New York City is one of the world’s financial capitals, presenting numerous options for the movement and laundering of drug proceeds. Private banking facilities, offshore banking, wire systems, shell corporations, and trade financing have been used to mask illegal activity. Money has also been laundered through currency exchange houses, stock brokerage houses, casinos, automobile dealerships, insurance companies, precious metal and gem dealers, and trading companies. Most recently, cyberlaundering and the emergence of e-cash provide an extremely expeditious means of moving large amounts of money. Additionally, numerous large scale money transportation and/or money laundering organizations are active in New York, servicing national and international drug organizations. These transportation/laundering organizations routinely conduct multi-hundred thousand dollars “pick ups” of drug cash from trafficking groups. The black market peso exchange and the “hawala” alternate remittance system are also used to move drug proceeds. Despite the extensive financial systems available in New York, many trafficking organizations opt to physically smuggle bulk cash out of the area and/or out of the United citys.
