BROOKLYN – New York City officials on Thursday announced the indictment of 25 people on charged of conspiracy, sale and possession of drugs and money laundering.
Among them was a Rockland County woman, Sheila Rodriguez, 29, of Congers.
“There’s a growing heroin epidemic in New York and other parks of the country that’s taking the lives of our young people hooked on this deadly and highly-addictive drug,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson. “We must deal with this quiet drug plague by going after those who peddle this poison in our communities.”
