An investigation by Kingston police has resulted in the arrest of a woman and the seizure of tens of thousands of dollars worth of crack, meth, and fentanyl. The drugs, with a combined street value of $63,490, were discovered during a traffic stop near Portsmouth Avenue and Johnson Street on Friday. The accused, identified as Ashley Anthis, 39, of Kingston, faces charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime.
A 40-year-old Indian national, Banmeet Singh, has been sentenced to five years in prison by a US court for selling illegal drugs on the dark web. Singh created vendor sites on marketplaces to sell controlled substances like fentanyl and LSD. The investigation revealed a network of distributors in several US states and international locations. Singh’s drug operation generated millions of dollars in profits laundered through cryptocurrency accounts.
