State police have uncovered a multimillion-dollar heroin network that stretches from the Bronx to Westchester.
More than 140 pounds of the drug and $50,000 in cash were seized in three different locations, including a storage facility located at 400 Nepperhan Ave. in Yonkers.
Police raided one of the units at the facility Monday and uncovered nine pounds of heroin.
Police also had their eye on a Bronx building as a distribution center. A search inside an apartment led police to heroin stashed in the bedroom, closet and a concealed area of the wall.
Ramon Rivas and Jose Rodriguez were arrested. Police followed the drug trail to Yonkers, where Rodriguez was renting a storage unit.
Rodriguez and Rivas pleaded not guilty during their arraignment.
