Massive Meth Seizure in Manhattan: $600K Bust

​​🚨 Manhattan Meth Bust: $600K Worth of Drugs Seized #DrugNews 🚓 Law enforcement agents in Manhattan made a significant meth bust this week, arresting two Pennsylvania men found with 110 pounds of meth during a routine traffic stop. The drugs have a street value of over $600,000, making it one of the largest methamphetamine seizures in recent history. 👮 Fernando Penaloza-Reyes, 43, and Raul Cruz-Torres, 41, both from Reading, PA, were arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on September 17. They face charges of second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Despite the substantial amount of drugs, both men were released without bail due to New York State law, which does not consider methamphetamine possession a bail-eligible offense. 💊 Agents stopped a black Chevrolet Tahoe with Pennsylvania license plates near West Street and Battery Place around 9 a.m. on September 16. Inside the vehicle, they found two large black duffel bags containing approximately 50 vacuum-sealed packages of a white rocky substance, alleged to be crystal methamphetamine. 🔍 Official lab results confirming the drugs as crystal meth are pending. “Methamphetamine, sometimes mixed with fentanyl, is claiming an increasing number of lives in our state and nation,” said SNP Bridget Brennan. “Preventing more than 100 pounds of the drug from reaching our streets will save precious lives and prevent vulnerable communities from experiencing its destructive impact.” Breaking Bad Forum │ TG Channel
