BRONX BOROUGH PRESIDENT VANESSA L. GIBSON'S STATEMENT ON THE SEIZURE OF CANNABIS AT A MOTT HAVEN APARTMENT BUILDING
"Yesterday's seizure of hundreds of pounds of cannabis, large sums of money, and boxes of fireworks at the Estela Apartments in the Mott Haven section is deeply concerning and came as a shock to all who live and work in this community. This is a home to families and children who live and play here. Were it not for multiple calls to 311 by concerned residents of the smell of marijuana, this could have gone on indefinitely. I want to thank Mayor Adams, and the Sheriff's Office, for their swift action on this, particularly as it relates to the fireworks. Their actions to secure this neighborhood will ensure its safety and peace for those who access it."
