Nine people were cuffed for allegedly selling psychedelic psilocybin mushrooms and cocaine near Washington Square Park.
The suspects, who were nabbed at various points over the last six weeks, are accused of making more than a dozen sales to undercover cops during a months-long sting, according to the city's Special Narcotics Prosecutor's Office.
Federal, state and local authorities launched the takedown last week – ultimately removing 400,000 packages of suspected fentanyl and heroin, plus quantities of loose powdered narcotics, from an apartment on the Grand Concourse near East 168th Street in the Concourse neighborhood.
