Four more suspects were taken into custody Friday in connection with a large cocaine trafficking ring that officials had said was broken up earlier in the week.
Three Bronx men, Juan Nieto, 31, Michael Figueroa, 29, and Ernest McCullough, 39, and Louis Crespo, 31, of Yonkers were charged with second-degree conspiracy to commit criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony.
The four were arraigned in Greenburgh Town Court on Friday and remanded to the Westchester County Jail.

The local arrests came after 11 suspects were charged Thursday with trafficking cocaine from the Bronx to Albany through the Hudson Valley. The operation, dubbed the Orloff Organization, sought to distribute five kilos or more of cocaine throughout the region.






The cocaine was hidden in an Orloff Avenue residence in the Bronx from last year through April, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday.
Other drugs, weapons and close to $1 million in cash also were seized following the execution of search warrants at two dozen locations and several vehicles.



The Greenburgh Drug and Alcohol Task Force — which is made up off officers from the town as well as Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings, Irvington, North Castle, Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown — teamed up with officials from the Westchester County District Attorney, New York State Police and federal agencies in the investigation.
