Ramona Rodriguez-Tejada is arraigned via video link this morning from the Hudson County jail in Kearny.

An Aruban woman was busted with eight kilograms of heroin as she boarded a bus at the Harmon Cove Mall in Secaucus yesterday and police say she was connected to an international trafficking network with ties to Holland.

A distraught Ramona Rodriguez-Tejeda, 49, made her first appearance yesterday at Central Judicial Processing Court in Jersey City on drug distribution charges. She could face up to 20 years in prison, said Lt. Mark Kelly, commander of the State Police Drug Traffic Unit in Newark.

She appeared in court via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny and she was so distraught during the appearance that she was later taken away for medical attention. He bail was set at $1 million cash only by state Superior Court Judge Kevin Callahan.

Kelly said the heroin has a wholesale value of about $520,000 but once processed and packaged for sale on the streets it will be worth twice that much.

Rodriguez-Tejeda, who also uses an address in Brooklyn, was charged with first-degree
possession of illegal drugs and first-degree possession with attempt to distribute, said Kelly.

Kelly declined to specify how troopers learned of the shipment.

Bronx Police Raid Nets 8 Kilos of Heroin, Guns

NYPD officers raiding a north Bronx home earlier this week netted eight kilos of heroin and nine loaded handguns.

The couple who lived in the home, Edwin (Armani) Cruz, 31, and Lucille Tejada, 36, were arrested in the raid. Both face felony drug possession and numerous weapons charges.

The raid came after weeks of investigation by the NYPD's Bronx gang squad. However, police told the New York Daily News that the couple were not affiliated with a gang. Instead, police say, they are part of a larger organization that distributes guns and drugs on the streets of upper Manhattan and the Bronx.

"This was a substantial bust," Dep. Chief Robert Boyce, commander of the Citywide Gang Unit, told the Daily News. "I think we put a nice dent in this operation."

The raid was executed at 8:35 a.m., and the officers caught Cruz and Tejada still sleeping. Officers found the heroin, wrapped in red cellophane, stuffed in an empty vacuum box in the living room. The handguns, described as high-quality weapons, were found in a book bag and in a drawer.

Police say Cruz has an arrest record on charges of robbery, criminal possession of a weapon, and felony possession. His parole ended in 2006. Tejada has no criminal history.

Good questions Oldfart!

I can tell you where and when he was arrested.  Sounds like one of his relatives squealed on him.  I don't think he had heroin on him when he was arrested, only that he was part of the drug trafficking group:

A Kingsbridge Heights couple is facing a litany of charges after police raided their Sedgwick Avenue home last week and found an eye-popping display of drugs and weapons.

The Bronx gang squad had been investigating Edwin Dela- Cruz, 31, and his girlfriend, Lucila Tejada, 36, for several weeks. On Jan. 9, at 8:40 a.m., as the couple lay sleeping, officers raided their apartment, inside 3343 Sedgwick Ave., arresting them and seizing eight kilograms of heroin, nine loaded guns and a variety of drug paraphernalia. Both were arrested without incident.

Deputy Chief Robert Boyce, commander of the Citywide Gang Unit, said Mr. DelaCruz and Ms. Tejada are not gang members but are part of a larger drug organization suspected of selling heroin in the Bronx and parts of Upper Manhattan. He described the bust as significant, explaining that the two were not working in some mom-and-pop fashion.

Eight kilograms of heroin, he said, is worth half a million dollars. Deputy Inspector Dermot Shea, commanding officer of the 50th Precinct and a former head of several Bronx narcotics squads, said that amount of heroin can fetch dealers about a million dollars on the street.

Several residents of 3343 Sedgwick Ave., a well-maintained brick apartment building overlooking the Jerome Park Reservoir, were startled by the arrests. However, one woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said neighbors began noticing some unusual traffic in the building.

"We're in shock but we knew something funny was going on," she said. "Now we're all breathing a sigh of relief."

A representative from the Sedgwick Management Corporation, the managing agent for the building, said she had heard no complaints about the couple from residents.

According to police, Mr. Delacruz and Ms. Tejada had drugs and weapons stashed all over the apartment. They found one kilogram under the couple's bed, and seven more wrapped and tucked in a large box in the living room.

Nine handguns, all loaded, were found in the bedroom - two in a dresser by the bed and six more under the bed. A Mac 11, a fully automatic machine gun that fires 1,200 rounds per minute, was also recovered. It was also loaded with several rounds of ammunition, police said.

Deputy Chief Boyce said the stash of weapons was "highquality."

Mr. Delacruz has been previously arrested on weapons, robbery and felony charges. He was taken off parole in August 2006.

Ms. Tejada has no prior arrests.

The pair, who appeared before a judge on Tuesday, is due back in court on Jan. 22.
