TWO TONS OF COCAINE SEIZED IN NYC

NEW YORK - Two tons of cocaine found in a warehouse in Brooklyn was
described Friday as a "historic seizure" - the largest confiscation of
drugs in New York by law enforcement authorities in at least five years.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the discovery Thursday night during
a surveillance in the Park Slope section would have a ripple effect on
crime in the city.

"Just think of the amount of violence that would occur over 2 tons of
cocaine and the lives impacted by it," Kelly said.

The raid on the warehouse came after members of the New York Drug
Enforcement Task Force watched a car involved in previous narcotics
investigations enter a warehouse and later leave with a heavily weighted
rear section.
