30 People Detained After a Six-Month Investigation Turned up Firearms and Drugs from An Orange County Food Truck!

In a significant law enforcement operation hailed as one of the most substantial crackdowns in Orange County’s history, a total of thirty individuals have been apprehended following an extensive six-month investigation into a highly organized drug and gun trafficking syndicate.

This operation, which culminated in a series of coordinated raids, uncovered a complex criminal enterprise operating clandestinely out of a seemingly innocuous food truck nestled in downtown Newburgh, New York.

The Real Spice food truck, strategically positioned in close proximity to the city courthouse, had been covertly facilitating not only the sale of culinary delights but also serving as a front for the illicit trade of firearms and narcotics, predominantly cocaine and fentanyl. The revelation of such nefarious activities occurring within mere feet of a seat of justice has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting urgent calls for heightened vigilance and law enforcement measures.

Kirkland Salmon, 42, is the proprietor and operator of the implicated food truck. He is at the helm of this illicit operation. Salmon, along with his cohorts, now faces a litany of charges, the gravity of which could potentially result in each perpetrator serving up to a quarter of a century behind bars.

Authorities have shed light on the intricate workings of this criminal network, disclosing a sophisticated four-tier structure that facilitated the trafficking of firearms sourced from North Carolina and narcotics primarily procured from Florida. Furthermore, it has emerged that a local barbershop served as a covert hub for storing ill-gotten gains, underscoring the complexity and reach of the criminal enterprise.

The success of this operation is attributed to the collaborative efforts of nearly forty law enforcement agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Utilizing a combination of surveillance techniques and undercover operations, officers meticulously pieced together the puzzle of this illicit trade, culminating in a series of meticulously orchestrated raids.
