Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 138th day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1924, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “$100,000 Seizure of Narcotics Made in Warren St. Rain.”
The article focused on a raid at a tenement house where more than $100,000 worth of narcotics was seized.
“The police secured entrance to the apartment where the dope was contained after Detective Henry J. Addy, posing as an addict, had purchased a small paper of alleged cocaine for $2,” the Eagle reported. “… three prisoners were taken.”
