After a 16-month investigation, 15 tenants of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) were arrested on drug and conspiracy charges, as well as three employees, two for allegedly buying marijuana while on duty and one for providing drug dealers an apartment from which to conduct their drug deals.
New York City’s Department of Investigation (DOI) announced the arrests on Jan. 19 and said that they were the result of a joint investigation by local, state, and federal agents into the Towaz Boyz gang.
