Officers from the Finger Lakes Drug Task Force, among other agencies, began executing 35 felony arrest warrants.
One drug ring was centralized in northern Cayuga County, police said. This ring is accused of obtaining cocaine from New York City and distributing it in and around Cayuga County, they said. Seventeen arrest warrants have been issued related to this ring's activity.
Another drug ring distributed cocaine and ecstasy in Auburn and surrounding towns, police said. Fifteen arrest warrants have been issued related to this ring's activity.
During these joint investigations, police seized four pounds of cocaine, one hundred ecstasy pills, at least $8,500 in cash, five handguns and one assault weapon, police said.
The arrest warrants are being executed by the Finger Lakes Drug Task Force -- made up of the Auburn Police Department and the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office -- the New York State Police, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Marshals, the New York State Parole Division and the New York State Attorney General's Office.
