Authorities Thursday afternoon named a Town of Newburgh man as a major player in a massive drug ring that trafficked in cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs throughout the mid-Hudson.
The drugs were brought in from Arizona, Florida, the Dominican Republic, Canada and the Bronx and funneled through the Town of Newburgh.
A total of 37 residents from Orange, Ulster, Westchester and Dutchess counties were rounded up Thursday morning following a two-year-long investigation that involved wiretaps and a host of local, state and federal agencies.
Seven suspects remain at large, officials said.
Authorities confiscated $172,000 worth of marijuana, 62 prescription painkillers and cocaine worth $10,000 as well as $83,000 in cash.
