The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Three New Jersey men were arrested after investigators seized around half a million counterfeit prescription tablets in what authorities called the largest pill bust in the state's history.
Authorities began investigating the suspects in 2017 after the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in New York was alerted to large amounts of money being withdrawn from ATMs in the five boroughs and New Jersey. The suspicious transactions led authorities to Anderson, Codd and MacCarty. Almost all of the packages had a return address that falsely identified the sender with addresses linked to law offices and real estate agencies in New York City, according to a statement from Vance's office.
“Not only is this the first time state prosecutors in New York have taken down a dark web storefront, this takedown represents the largest pill seizure in New Jersey’s history," Vance said."If you are engaging in illicit activity on the dark web, you are on notice: we know how to find you, we know how to put you out of business, and we know how to hold you criminally accountable."
