Major Trafficker Taken Down

On March 20, 2024, the New York State Police Troop K Violent Gangs and Narcotic Enforcement Team and the Troop K Community Stabilization Unit K9 in conjunction with the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force, the New York City Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor arrested Juan Rondon, age 60, of Bronx, NY, for Operating as a Major Trafficker, Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 1st degree, both class A-I felonies, and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 3rd degree, a class B felony.

Members of the Troop K VGNET developed information that led to the Bronx and the application of a search warrant by the New York City Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor.  Upon execution of the warrant, approximately 12 kilograms of cocaine and 3 million dollars in U.S. Currency were found hidden in the residence.

New York State Police Acting Superintendent Steven G. James said, “A cumulative effort among law enforcement partners has once again resulted in a massive seizure of deadly drugs.  Not only did this interception save lives, but it also put an end to the violence that is often associated with drug trafficking.  The New York State Police will continue to work vigilantly alongside our partners to put dangerous individuals like Mr. Rondon behind bars.”
