Authorities in New York City<\/a> broke up a drug and gun ring with the arrest of eight people and seizure of more than $1 million in illicit drugs, officials said Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investigation into the drug gang was prompted by violence and drug sales in and around Rufus King Park in Jamaica, Queens, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We allege these men were significant drug and gun traffickers who were a grave threat to public safety as peddlers of death and addiction,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The eight men arrested were identified as: Adrian Escobar, a.k.a. King Mango, 33, leader of the group; Junior Escobar, 20; Jose Escobar, 26; Jonathan Fernandez, 31; Joseph Fernandez, 33; Jonathan Suarez, also 33; Juan Escobar, 18; and 43-year-old Manuel Gomez.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jose, Juan and Junior Escobar are brothers; Adrian Escobar is their cousin. Jonathon and Joseph Fernandez are brothers.<\/p>\n

They are all charged with various drug crimes.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the takedown, authorities seized various firearms, three pounds of cocaine, fentanyl, Oxycodone and Adderall pills, psilocybin mushrooms and $67,000 in cash, among other items, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Undercover law enforcement officers purchased cocaine and ecstasy<\/a> from one of the suspects 40 times and handguns from three others, Katz’s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NYPD Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell said the suspects’ actions “showed a callous disregard for human life.”<\/p>\n

“The NYPD\u2019s fight against the trafficking of illegal guns and illicit narcotics in our city is at the forefront of our public-safety mission,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
