Spotsylvania County police detectives arrested four people and seized cocaine with an estimated street value of more than $100,000, the county sheriff announced Wednesday.

The four have been charged with running a cocaine trafficking ring in the Spotsylvania area. They were arrested in a traffic stop, said Sheriff Roger Harris, and all are from the New York City area.

The suspects are Rose Marie Rivera, 29, of Yonkers, N.Y.; Kiya Lefranc-Diallo, 33, of the Bronx in New York; Samuell Ensley Jr., 38, of Mount Vernon, N.Y.; and Natalia Silva, 21, also from Mount Vernon, according to Capt. Jeff Pearce, a spokesman for the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office.

All four are being held in the Rappahannock Regional Jail in Stafford County without bond, on felony counts of trafficking cocaine and conspiracy to traffic, according to the sheriff’s office.

Along with about 26 ounces of suspected cocaine, detectives seized several firearms and $16,000 in cash, the sheriff’s office said. The office did not release details Wednesday on the time and place of the traffic stop.
