Uriel Rose, 41, is accused of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree and a litany of related charges, according to District Attorney Ray Tierney's office.
A 10-month investigation into Rose’s Beema Boyz Auto Garage began in June 2024. Suffolk County Police conducted surveillance during that span. On seven different occasions, an undercover detective bought cocaine from Rose.
A search warrant was successfully executed on April 10th. Eight ounces of cocaine were recovered at the Deer Park business. Rose attempted to flee before being apprehended by police. Cocaine residue was detected on his person. He allegedly flushed even more cocaine down the bathroom toilet.
“This case demonstrates our commitment to dismantling drug trafficking networks that threaten the safety and well-being of our community," said DA Tierney.
Police also recovered cash, a money counter, drug ledgers, a hot plate used for cooking crack cocaine, scales and additional drug paraphernalia.
Packages labeled “Ahijado”—Spanish for “godson”—were found in a garbage can. They may have been used to transport kilos of cocaine.
Rose was arraigned nearly three weeks later on April 30th.
“We will continue to work diligently with our law enforcement partners to pursue those who profit from the distribution of dangerous substances," Tierney added.
