NIAGARA FALLS - A drug ring that smuggled marijuana and Ecstasy pills from Canada into the United States via border crossings in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area was dismantled Tuesday in a police operation that netted 23 arrests, a federal agency said.
The suspects were hit with a variety of drug charges, including possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.
The investigation, begun more than a year ago by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, had already triggered the arrests of 21 suspected drug smugglers and four major drug suppliers, said Lev Kubiak, acting special agent in Buffalo.
