NEW YORK (AP/WCBS 880) -- Authorities say they've arrested a dozen people and seized 33 pounds of heroin worth $30 million in a drug bust in the Bronx.
The arrests late Friday afternoon were announced Saturday in a release by the New York office of the Drug Enforcement Administration along with city and state police.
The authorities say the arrests broke up a drug ring that each week sold hundreds of thousands of small bags of drugs.
The drugs were stamped with such brand names as Barack Obama, Swine Flu and Crime 360.
Authorities say $150,000 in cash was also seized in the drug raid. Investigators also recovered three "Build a Bear" stuffed animals altered to store heroin.
According to the release, the drugs were distributed in New Jersey and New York.
