Police and Federal Drug Enforcement Agents have made what is described as the largest ever ecstasy haul in New Jersey history.
To date, there have been 5 individuals arrested federally for their roles in this international narcotics enterprise network. Approximately 122 pounds of Ecstasy, 150 pounds of Hydro Marijuana, 3 assault rifles, 3 semiautomatic handguns, swords, fighting knifes, and a huge amount of U.S. Currency has been seized. The ecstasy seized has an estimated street value of well over $5.5 million dollars. This is the largest seizure of ecstasy within the State of New Jersey.
The investigation began on Friday, November 2, 2007, in which several of the defendants were arrested. Fouad Hanna, 47 year old Lebanese born citizen, has been identified as the leader of this organization. Additionally, throughout this investigation, several other defendants were arrested and found in possession of these illegal weapons and drugs. Subsequently, a variety of investigative tools were then utilized to identify other members of the narcotics distribution network as well as their methods of operation.
Kenneth R. McCreary, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the DEA New Jersey Division stated, “This significant seizure is a classic example of how successful partnerships within law enforcement can enhances our efforts to stop illegal drugs and violence throughout New Jersey. Taking these amounts of weapons, drugs, and money from this organization eliminates any potential future violence against the citizens of New Jersey.”
