"Grand Concourse Crew" was busted dealing drugs and selling guns
"Grand Concourse Crew" was busted dealing drugs and selling guns by essentially taking over a string of apartment buildings on the busy Bronx commercial strip.
Eyewitness News has learned at least 18 members of the "crew" were charged following raids on 1215, 1236 and 1269 Grand Concourse that started early yesterday morning.
The raids, a joint FBI and NYPD operation, reportedly netted drugs and guns that were carried out by agents in boxes.
The suspects were hit with a multitude of federal gun and drug trafficking charges, including conspiracy to distribute.
Commissioner Ray Kelly, U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia and FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Donald Ackerman will hold an 11 a.m. news conference at Police Headquarters to discuss the arrests.
Officials say the busts broke up a dangerous ring that peddled crack cocaine and weapons illegally run up the Interstate 95 corridor from South Carolina to the Bronx.
Agents bought guns and semi-automatic weapons from some of the suspects, who bragged one of the weapons was used "to shoot a cop."
Large amounts of crack cocaine were also allegedly purchased inside 1269 Grand Concourse, a six-story apartment building virtually taken over by dealers.
Members of the so-called "Grand Concourse Crew" acted as look-outs in front of the building, to warn others when police were in the area, according to police.
The criminal activity virtually took over the apartment building, where dealers frequently sold drugs in the open lobby area in front of residents, including children.

Also, said Jobe, the gun that was recovered, a nine millimeter automatic, had the clip missing and there was no bullet in the chamber.

Ryan Satz charged with impersonating an officer, carrying a concealed firearm, and using a firearm while committing a felony
Police intend to charge 21-year-old Ryan Satz with impersonating an officer, carrying a concealed firearm, and using a firearm while committing a felony.
suspicious driver tipped deputies off to a man who's accused of posing as a cop, carrying a pistol and knives, and pulling other drivers over. A white Chevy Tahoe sat locked inside a St. Augustine impound yard Thursday afternoon. It's the vehicle deputies say Ryan Satz used the night before to run some drivers off the road and pull other drivers over on Interstate 95 and State Road 207 in St. Johns County. A woman called the sheriff's office after she got suspicious. She said she was watching Satz make one of his bogus traffic stops, and she didn't buy the blue light on the dashboard. She said she recognized Satz, and knew he was no police officer. "We were able to catch up to that suspect vehicle, conducted a traffic stop on it, and then a whole host of events unfolded from that point," said Sgt. Chuck Mulligan with the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office. Mulligan says when deputies caught up with Satz, he was wearing an outfit that looked like a sheriff's light duty uniform. On top of that, according to a police report, he had with him a .40 caliber handgun, several knives, a pepper spray can, an extendable nightstick, night vision goggles, and a flashlight that can blink blue or red. "He is not unknown to us -- we are familiar with this subject," Mulligan said. Satz was once a police explorer, which is a sort of junior intern, with the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, Mulligan said. Since then he's had at least four arrests. And after real deputies locked Satz in a patrol car Wednesday, Mulligan says his cool cop persona dissolved into outbursts and threats. "He begins to do certain things in the car that lead us to believe he's gonna try to harm himself and makes statements to that effect," Mulligan said. "And then [he] states that it was a good thing that law enforcement didn't catch up to him at his house after he got home, because there would have been a lot of dead cops, via his AR-15 rifle."
