"This drug trafficking organization was cooking up more than pizza in the Bronx," said DEA Special Agent in Charge, Frank Tarentino. "The large stash of cocaine found in the basement of Mexzzarella Pizza is very significant because it had the potential to supply drug networks throughout the Northeast.
"We will keep using our collective resources to aggressively pursue these criminals to the fullest extent of the law," said NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban. The vials were stored near the pizza counter for convenient sales, or to provide samples to the customers. The results of DEA laboratory analysis on the narcotics seized are pending.All the news you need to know, every day
