Cops have busted 12 alleged crack dealers who operated so brazenly throughout Clinton Hill that authorities say they have videos of them selling rock on the street, in an apartment building and even out of local storefronts.
District Attorney Charles Hynes will announce the bust this morning in Downtown Brooklyn, calling it the result of an undercover operation that began months ago and involved an elaborate operation in which cops made 17 purchases from the alleged dealers.
Hynes’s office said that the busts, dubbed in suitably hyperbolic language “Operation Grand Slam,” began with tips from neighborhood residents themselves.
The haul — which pales in comparison to the 28-kilo bust in the hipster drug warehouse in Williamsburg — comes in at roughly two pounds of marijuana and over 50 grams of cocaine.
Cops confiscated several guns during the bust as well.
