The NYPD, FBI and several other state and federal agencies worked together to bring down a group of drug traffickers with ties to Bushwick.

The six men arrested-Victor Agosto, Perfecto Deleon, Luis Lopez, Andres Reyes, Nestor Rivera, and Peter Vasquez-were allegedly members of a large-scale heroin trafficking organization with Mexican cartel connections that trafficked in hundreds of kilograms of heroin into New York City.

According to the indictment, the group transported heroin from Los Angeles to Chicago and then on to New York. They also allegedly made trips to Mexico in order to further grow their drug operation.
