Over 16-months undercover officers in Operation Mayberry recovered six firearms, along with marijuana, crack cocaine, and a kilogram of powdered cocaine.

Additional cocaine was found in Texas intended for delivery to Staten Island. Gang members operated international drug trafficking routes from Canada, Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Texas. District Attorney Daniel Donovan said that the weapons were shipped north from Georgia.

Thirty-three defendants were indicted on various crimes including conspiring to commit murder, attempted murder, and larceny in addition to drug and weapons charges, according to The Epoch Times.
