Authorities announced Thursday the seizure of more than 40 pounds of the deadly drug fentanyl in the Bronx.
Authorities said they arrested the suspect, Juan Gabriel Herrera Vargas, after he hauled 13 kilos - about 30 pounds - of the deadly drug in a rolling suitcase on the subway. Police said the suspect hauled more than 13 kilos of fentanyl through the subway in this rolling suitcase. After Vargas was arrested, officers searched an apartment at Heath Avenue near Kingsbridge Road.
"The public outcry after the poisoning death of a toddler was not enough to stop a drug mill from operating just six blocks away from that day care," DEA Special Agent in Charge Frank Tarentino said."Herrera Vargas took danger one step further and wheeled over 40 pounds of fentanyl around the city and on the subway with no regard to public safety."
"The defendant is charged with transporting almost 30 pounds of fentanyl bricks in a rolling suitcase on a subway, through a subway station, and on the sidewalks of a busy Bronx neighborhood," Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan said. We "Once again, a large supply of fentanyl has been found in the Bronx. For years, our community has been a hub for fentanyl distribution and has suffered so many deaths.
