Men in Brown Are Men in Orange After UPS Heroin Bust
Three UPS employees and a fourth man were arrested earlier this week after police followed a package filled with heroin to a 29th St. address. The package had been identified as being filled with drugs at a UPS distribution hub in Kentucky.
The package was delivered to its intended address at 104 West 29th St. by an undercover cop dressed as a UPS employee and the NYPD then sat on the address. Eventually, three UPS drivers arrived and were arrested with 10 pounds of heroin. The drugs were estimated to be worth $1 million.
Early last year, a UPS delivery man was arrested for running a scheme that included stolen credit cards and swiped Sidekicks. The high-tech handsets would be ordered with stolen credit cards and then intercepted by other drivers in on the plan, who would be paid $50 per Sidekick.

not relevant to this post, but in that little flash animation for the air i breathe..what on earth happened to brendan fraser? little puffy, dawg.
my office is on w.29th and our usual UPS man has been missing for the past week or so...
104 W.29th is the addy for Caroline Distribution and Astralwerks Records. Funny.
My UPS driver is a wonderful junkie named Steve and he always shares a smile and a laugh with the girls in the office. We consider him family and always help him with fresh works whenever necessary. And he has yet to miss a delivery in over 5 years of trustworthy service.
