Police confiscated more than 100 pounds of cocaine, $5 million in cash and an array of guns in a bust of what officials are calling the largest cocaine network in Suffolk history.
Authorities say the bust capped a three month investigation that spanned eight states. In total, officials say more than 450 pounds of cocaine with a street value of $40 million were confiscated. Police say members of the drug ring transported the cocaine from Mexico via California, using sophisticated compartments in audio speakers, foozeball tables and fish tanks.
Police have made eight arrests, three of whom were Long Islanders. The local arrests include a Suffolk County corrections officer and a former elementary school teacher and basketball coach at North Babylon High School.

Re: DRUG BUST!!!!!!!!
My mother works for sachem before and after childcare and just called to tell me that the correction officer is the father of two of the kids from her school! She always talks to me about those kids too. SHe always says they have the nicest clothes and carry cellphones [they are like 5 and 7 years old] and the mom drives a mercedes. So crazy!
