Cocaine, Over $2.3K In Cash Seized From Haverstraw Home: 2 Arrested, DA Says
Two people were arrested after a drug raid in Rockland County uncovered cocaine and cash—but both were later released without bail, prosecutors say.
Both a white-chunky substance containing cocaine and more than $2,300 in cash were seized from the Haverstraw home, prosecutors said.
The raid happened Thursday, June 12, at a home in Haverstraw, following a narcotics investigation by the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force, the Rockland DA’s Office announced on Monday, June 16.
Inside the house, officers found a chunky white substance weighing more than half an ounce that tested positive for cocaine, along with $2,306 in cash, according to District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II.
The two people inside—Victor Esteban, 37, and Yohelina Camilo, 34—were arrested and each charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Despite the serious charges, the offenses are considered non-qualifying for bail under New York law, meaning both suspects were released on their own recognizance after being arraigned in Haverstraw Town Court, prosecutors said.
