A massive drug operation centered around a social club in Newark has been busted, authorities announced Tuesday, with dozens of arrests and more than $1 million worth of drugs and $300,000 in cash confiscated. Acting Essex County Prosecutor Theodore Stephens and Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said the Essex County Prosecutor's Office executed search warrants in the Ironbound section of Newark, as well as in Harrison, Kearny, and locations in Monmouth and Ocean counties, resulting in the confiscation of approximately 23,000 grams of marijuana and two kilos of cocaine.
The bust was the the result of an eight-month investigation and allegedly involved drugs coming up from Monmouth and Ocean counties and being sold throughout the Ironbound section from the club on Monroe Street, where gambling was also allegedly happening.
