Eleven arrests were made in nine raids on nine Rhode Island addresses by a state, local and federal Rhode Island task force, breaking up a major heroin ring of Dominican Republic natives with links to Mexican cartels.
Combined with raids in Providence, Pawtucket and North Providence, the task force seized more than three kilos of heroin, approximately US$450,000 in cash and a substantial amount of high-end jewelry believed to be part of a money-laundering process, as well as five firearms and several vehicles.
The US attorney says the suspects are all now in jail, charged with multiple drug offenses.
