Feds say they’ve broken Canada-U.S. Ecstasy ring

Federal authorities say they’ve disrupted a Canada-to-United States Ecstasy ring with the arrest of 20 people, most in Western New York.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Buffalo and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement say the suspects are charged in a 24-count indictment with conspiracy to smuggle the drug into the U.S. from Canada and distribute it.

Of those arrested, 17 live in the Buffalo area, two are from New York City and one is from Chicago.

If convicted, they face up to 40 years in prison and fines of $2 million.
