“The New York State Police CNET unit has been very active and very successful in Sullivan County investigating the source and suppliers of these dangerous narcotics and this is yet another example of their fine work and the collaborative efforts with local, state and federal law enforcement that these police officers utilize to maximize our collective ability to hold these drug dealers responsible and accountable for their actions.” said District Attorney James Farrell.
