Cops Seize 1,000 K2 Packets In Brownsville Bust

BROWNSVILLE, BROOKLYN — Cops raided a massive K2 drug den in Brownsville Thursday morning and seized more than 1,000 K2 packets, according to police.

The Brooklyn North Narcotics Division found K2, cocaine, clonazepam, a loaded handgun and ammunition in a Brownsville home on Park Place near Howard Avenue at about 6:05 a.m., police announced at a press conference.

The seizure of 1,068 packets of K2 —including 608 packages of “Cotton Ball” — was the result of an investigation launched when a mass overdose in Bushwick sent more than a dozen people to the hospital, said police.

Carlos Alvarez, 40, Pablo Morales, 29, Jessica Rodriguez, 30 and Jamie Harrison, 19, were arrested and charged with the criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal use of drug paraphernalia, and unlawful manufacture, distribution, or sale of a synthetic cannabinoid, police said.

The raid comes after an NYPD alert that a "toxic strain" of the synthetic marijuana had hit the streets of Brownsville, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights.
