A secret multi-agency task force arrested 23 alleged heroin dealers and suppliers across Westchester County Tuesday.

Video from a raid shows law enforcement agents removing an alleged dealer from Bohlman Towers on Main Street in Peekskill early in the morning.

The raids included several areas in northern Westchester, including Ossining and Cortlandt.

The operation, which focused on street-level dealers and suppliers, is the result of a yearlong undercover investigation between at least seven local police departments, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety and the FBI.

The goal: to combat rising heroin use and overdoses.

The officers and detectives assigned to the Northern Narcotics Initiative spent thousands of hours investigating heroin sales, including intelligence gathering, surveillance, undercover buys and wiretaps.

Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino says the task force was born in response to the skyrocketing number of local heroin deaths -- more than 85 in two years.

The task force has made more than 125 arrests over the past year across northern Westchester.

More arrests are likely and News 12 has learned that the newly arrested suspects are facing life in prison.
