Federal and local authorities have broken up a New York City-based drug ring that distributed heroins to New England states and seized drugs worthy of 11 million U.S. dollars, authorities announced Monday.

The seizure was the result of a six-month investigation, and the officers seized items including about 24.04 kilograms of heroins, 9.07 kg of cocaine, three guns, plus 85,000 U.S. dollars of cash, said the Special Narcotics Prosecutor's Office of New York.

Meanwhile, two suspected ringleaders were arrested on charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and conspiracy.

"These arrests cut a pipeline moving huge amounts of heroin from New York City to the Northeast," said Bridget Brennan, the special narcotics prosecutor.

"These seizures and arrests demonstrate that NYC is Ground Zero of heroin distribution networks supplying the Northeast, as well as being the prime market Mexican drug traffickers are using to earn profit from the sale of poison," said James Hunt, acting special agent in charge of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's New York Division.
