Brennan, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and New York State Police Superintendent Harry Corbitt announced the seizure of 15 kilograms (33 pounds) of heroin worth $30 million and the arrest of 12 defendants late Friday afternoon. Investigators discovered wholesale heroin packaging operations at several locations in the Bronx. The operations are estimated to have been selling at least 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of pre-packaged heroin in square-inch size glassine bags.
