Cocaine Bust Shakes NYC Streets | New York City News

Ten million dollars worth of pure cocaine—never cut with fentanyl, ready to flood the streets—was seized in a dramatic bust in NYC after cops tracked Nelson Salcedo, a 35-year-old elevator mechanic, near Central Park. His van led investigators to a storage facility where a police dog sniffed out the haul: 230 packages of uncut cocaine. Prosecutors say this deadly drug is now tied to over half of all overdose deaths in the city. Salcedo’s lawyer claims he had no idea what was in the boxes. Two others are already arrested, and the probe traces back to a cartel—though names remain under wraps. More arrests are expected as this dangerous investigation unfolds.
