New Jersey drug ring had a ‘drive-through window’: feds

Authorities have busted 25 people — several connected to the Bloods — for running a massive drug ring in New Jersey where they allegedly pedaled heroin and crack out of a “fast-food-style drive-through window” that was open for businesses 24/7, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

Shaheed Blake, 36, also known as “Sha Gotti,” and Anderson Hutchinson, 37, nicknamed “Murda Rah,” allegedly ran the $10,000-per-day business that operated out of abandoned houses in a residential neighborhood near an elementary school on the Newark-Irvington border, the New Jersey US Attorney’s Office said.

The dealers made one of their drug dens, 921 S. 20th St. in Newark, into a veritable “fortress,” which was only accessible by the second floor with a ladder while they sold their product out of a first-floor window, authorities allege.

“They operated out of an abandoned home in Newark that they turned into a fortress protected by illegal firearms, which featured a fast-food-style drive-through window for the quick and easy sale of these dangerous drugs,” US Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a statement.

Blake and Hutchinson are allegedly members of the New Jersey gang CKarter Boys — an homage to the drug dealers in the 1991 flick “New Jack City” — which is connected with the Bloods, authorities said.

Cops came up with more than a kilo of heroin during the multi-agency bust Tuesday morning, as well as several firearms including, a .45-caliber Hi-Point and 9mm Sig Sauer.

Twenty of the people picked up Tuesday are scheduled to appear in court before US Magistrate Judge James B. Clark III in the afternoon.

Cops are still looking for two more suspects allegedly involved in the ring, Andrew Knox, 50, and Rasheem Langley, 46, authorities said.
