Six nabbed in drug bust

NORWICH – Six people allegedly involved in a crack cocaine trafficking ring between Norwich and Syracuse were arrested last week. The bust followed several months of investigation the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office and the Norwich City Police Department.

The felony complaints allege the four had the intent to sell the drugs.
