Police Bust Massive Rockaway Drug Ring

2010_3_hammelhouses.jpg

Cops broke up a major drug ring and arrested fifty suspected dealers operating out of a Far Rockaway housing project. After making 174 undercover purchases in six months, police raided the Hammel Houses, the Post reports. According to the Daily News, officers cuffed 45 suspects including members of the Bloods, Crips, and Money Over Bitches gangs. Police seized 41 bags of crack, 230 bags of marijuana, and smaller amounts of heroin and Oxycontin. Ten of the suspects had been arrested in a bust two years ago, and police continue to search for 13 other suspects. Queens Narcotics Capt. Thomas Marren says cops will pay close attention to the nearby Carleton Manor housing project so the dealers can't easily relocate.

    that's b/c omar was with a shorty--he overlooked the first, and the most important rule of 'money over bitches.'

    "hi. this is tom brokaw, and police today have arrested several members of a gang named money over bitches... whoa, whoa, whoa... cut!"

  • cutlass

    I just hope this doesn't create a vacuum that ends up getting filled by the rival vicious Bitches Over Money gang...

  • Snoopy

    Well I guess there will be some vacancies in that housing project.



    "Police seized 41 bags of crack, 230 bags of marijuana, and smaller amounts of heroin and Oxycontin." WOW! That is some serious amount of drugs for one individual to have. Oops I forgot there were fifty dealers involved.



    "Money Over Bitches" gang. Now that is a class act group if there ever was one.

  • detective jarvis

    how can you even have the balls to talk about other people having no class. you pollute this blog everyday with racist ignorant classless bullshit. It is truly ironic that you would attack someone elses lack of class while having absolutley none of your own. but i guess its pretty typical for you actually

  • Snoopy

    One more thing dick head jarvis. Where did I say anything racist in my earlier statement?



    I hope some gang lowlifes attack you on the street because they don't like the color jacket you are wearing and the tunes you are listening to. You are one low life classless individual yourself and the bottom feeders eat those that are living on the bottom. Enjoy your domain.

  • detective jarvis

    how fucking stupid are you really? do you really believe that im a cop? its a fucking user name. i am not a cop. holy shit you are an incredible idiot. in addition, did you even read my post you imbecile? i didnt say you said anything racist in your post. i said you are generally racist all the time in all of your posts. not this specific post. oh and by the way im white. arguing with you is like arguing with a fucking retard but i have to admit if really do enjoy it on an entertainment level

  • Snoopy

    How long have you been thrown off the force? Did you get assigned to the detective squad because they needed a few extra dumb ass ethnics to fill the quota?

  • 40oz.killa

    hahaha i was thinking the same thing

  • Tar_Baby

    Money Over Bitches...

  • Clarice City

    When I first read it I thought it said 'move over bitches'.

  • JenChungsBaby

    First you get the money, then you get the bitches.

  • hecks

    M.O.B...not a very sophisticated anagram but it gets the entrepreneurial point across.

  • Boogie Down

    It's probably just a fancy way of saying that they're on the downlow.

  • seven

    Yeah, really? These gang names are just getting lazy. It's just like naming your gang after the first thought that comes to your head. Bad form.
