NYPD Probing 35 Pounds Cocaine Found At UN Headquarters

A shipment containing a reported $2 million of cocaine was intercepted last week at the United Nations headquarters in New York, authorities revealed Thursday.

Around 35 pounds (16kg) of the drug was intercepted by security personnel at the building's mail processing center, according to FOX News Channel.

The cocaine was reportedly stuffed inside a batch of hollowed out books and hidden inside two mailbags stamped with bogus UN logos.

With a probe underway, the world body insisted Thursday that none of its staff were implicated.
Police, meanwhile, were working on the theory the narcotics were probably dispatched to the UN by accident as part of a bungled drug smuggling exercise.

"The United Nations nor anyone located in the United Nations was the intended recipient of this delivery and the bags were not UN bags, diplomatic or other," said a spokesman for Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon.

The bags were originally shipped from Mexico via a DHL center in Cincinnati, New York Police Department Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told the AFP news agency.

"It is my understanding that because there was no addressee, the DHL just thought well that's the UN symbol so we should ship it on to UN headquarters and let them figure out who it was supposed to go to," Browne said.

"The working theory now is that possibly it was never meant to have left Mexico at all," Browne said. The bags were "a bad fake."

"Somebody in Mexico is probably in trouble now having let a significant amount of cocaine out of their possession," the police chief added.

Earlier, a diplomatic source at the UN told FOX News the bags were delivered to the UN's diplomatic pouch processing center with covers that mimicked those of official diplomatic pouches.

The same source said one working theory being considered by officials was that a worker at the processing center was the intended recipient.

The UN's headquarters have been based in Manhattan, overlooking the East River, since 1952. Though it is in the US and subject to most local, state and federal laws, the land on which the complex sits is actually under the administration of the UN itself.

Fatal Fire

A FLASH FIRE erupted in a Bronx recording studio as workers were making repairs early Thursday, killing one person and injuring four others — one of whom was covered in flames as he ran outside.

“He was screaming for his daughter — that he was going to die,” said Jonathan Martinez, 19, who works at a bodega near the recording studio in High Bridge.

“He was on fire from head to toe.”

The man, identified by several friends as Joel Guzman, 21, was burned over about 90% of his body and was in critical condition at Jacobi Medical Center late Thursday, FDNY officials said.

He was part of a work crew that included Winston Munoz, 27, of Morris Heights, who died in the blaze at the studio on Plimpton Ave., official sources said.

Munoz, who friends said was related to the studio’s owner, and others were laying linoleum tiles using a flammable adhesive, FDNY officials said.

The adhesive’s vapors are also flammable, and the room was not properly ventilated, the officials added, noting that what ignited the flames at about 12:15 a.m. Thursday was still being investigated.

The city Department of Buildings website showed no active work permits for the property.

The studio’s owner, his wife, and another man suffered less serious burns and were in stable condition at area hospitals Thursday, officials said.

iPhone Robber Who Targeted Jewish Teens Busted by Cops

Cops have nabbed a Brooklyn iPhone bandit who stole the pricey Apple devices to support his tattoo habit.

Emanuel Simon used his ill-gotten gains to have the word “saint” inked on one arm and “create my future” inked on the other, sources said.

While the victims of the 19-year-old gunman were all Jewish, police called that a coincidence and say he was picky about the phones he allegedly stole.

In one case, Simon — armed with a BB-gun — held up a 17-year-old on Jan. 19 in the Marine Park section and then told the teen, “I don’t need it,” when it turned out to be an LG brand phone, sources said.

Under questioning, Simon admitted to iPhone robberies in Flatbush and in Marine Park — and to the attempted robbery of the teenager.

Simon, who lives in Flatbush, is charged with two counts of robbery, attempted robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. He has no prior arrests.

Suspicious Package At The UN Building

Reports of a suspicious package near the United Nations forced a brief evacuation of a block of East 44th Street Wednesday afternoon.

The package, which looked like a duffel bag with a note attached, was first reported at noon at the corner of East 44th Street and First Avenue. It was taken away by NYPD bomb investigators about an hour later. It turned out to contain "miscellaneous papers" and was deemed safe, police said.

During the investigation, East 44th Street between First and Second avenues was evacuated. Workers were told to remain inside their office buildings, and keep away from the side that faced the street.

Steve Raneri, who works for the United Nations Children's Fund, or UNICEF, at 338 East 44th Street, said he saw the package while having a cigarette outside his building before police arrived. There was a note on it, but he couldn't make out what it said.

"It looked like a bunch of random words," Raneri, 38, of Long Island, said.

He said it reminded him of an incident at Unicef a couple weeks ago, when a note was found on the entrance with words that "didn’t make sense."

"They were similar in that way," Raneri said.

Police arrived, and told him and colleague to go back inside. Anyone with offices on the side of the building that faced the street were ordered to move to the other side.

Police sealed the block with yellow tape, enclosing halal food cart vendor Larbi Rahli in the evacuation zone.

He continued cooking chicken at his spot at the corner of East 44th Street and First Avenue while the bomb squad went to work. He said he wasn't worried at all.
"I've seen it many times," he said.
