HELL’S KITCHEN, Manhattan (PIX11) – Over 30 pounds of methamphetamine and eight pounds of cocaine were seized from a luxury apartment in Manhattan on Tuesday, according to prosecutors.
Members of the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force were preparing to search an apartment at 550 West 54th St. in Hell’s Kitchen when a man, identified as 29-year-old Jovanny Salas, was seen leaving the apartment, officials said.
Authorities stopped Salas in the building’s lobby, where they discovered he had a key to the apartment and an ID belonging to 34-year-old Sergio Betancourt Peralta, according to officials.
Agents and officers then searched the apartment, where they seized the meth and cocaine, officials said. The drugs were worth $1.1 million, according to officials.
Authorities also found $27,880 in cash, Betancourt Peralta’s Mexican passport and an expired visa and Salas’ Mexican voter registration, Colorado driving license and U.S. passport, officials said.
The two men face charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance. They were arraigned in court on Wednesday, according to officials.
