Federal, state and local authorities arrested about 100 people across southern New England on Wednesday, alleging involvement in heroin and cocaine trafficking from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
New York authorities say six alleged drug traffickers have been indicted in connection with last month's seizure of 105 pounds of cocaine in the Times Square area.
Police say a New York City drug suspect slipped out of a police van and into the subway, triggering a Manhattan manhunt that ended with his capture about two miles away.
Authorities say they've made a sweeping move to dismantle drug dealing that turned living in some Manhattan housing complexes into running a gantlet of crack cocaine peddlers.
Two officers on foot patrol say they found two kilos of cocaine, a knife and small bags of crack and marijuana in a car they pulled over in Jamaica for having excessively tinted windows.
