NextImg:Major drug trafficker busted with over $10M worth of drugs, guns in NYC home

A major drug trafficker has been charged with more than 100 counts related to $10 million worth of cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl and a stockpile of firearms found at an abandoned Queens home.

Victor Rodriguez, 43, was arraigned last week on 112 counts related to possession and trafficking of controlled substances, the Queens District Attorney’s Office announced.

Rodriguez was busted when a contractor arrived at an abandoned home on 88th Road in Bellerose on May 30 and stumbled upon a massive stash of narcotics, guns and ammunition, the DA said.

Authorities later seized about $ 10 million worth of glassine envelopes of either heroin or heroin and fentanyl, as well as eight kilos of cocaine, heroin and fentanyl from the site, the statement read.

At least five ghost guns and ammunition were also found in the house, officials said.

Over $10 million worth of drugs was seized from the abandoned Bellerose address.

After the contractor left, Rodriguez was identified on surveillance footage while running to and from the two-family home with two coolers, both of which were later determined to contain narcotics.

“One can’t even calculate how many lives would have been cut short or ruined by the millions of dollars worth of lethal narcotics and deadly weapons that were found,” Queens DA Melina Katz said Wednesday.

“What we do know for certain is that our families, friends and neighborhoods are all safer thanks to this massive seizure.

“We cannot and will not relent in the fight to get drugs and guns off our streets. We will prosecute any and all involved in this deadly trafficking.”

Rodriguez pleaded not guilty in Queens Supreme Criminal Court last week, and was remanded without bail, according to Newsday.

If convicted, he faces 25 years to life in prison.
