Between July 2018 and September 2019, their nationwide drug enterprise used long-haul drivers who transported drugs from the southern border of California to New York City, prosecutors alleged.

Clarkstown police said Wednesday that officers in Clarkstown's Street Crime Unit armed with information from the investigation stopped a tractor trailer in West Nyack in September. They brought in a Clarkstown Police K-9 to search the truck.

They discovered the following items:

• 1 Kilogram Fentanyl
• 1 Kilogram Heroin

The drugs that were seized have an estimated street value of $2.4 million.
