The drugs came from various sources and the bikers sold them throughout Orange and Rockland Counties, just north of New York City, the sources said.

Most of raided locations were in Orange County. It’s believed the bikers acquired the drugs from a location in Nyack, New York, the sources said.

State police were expected to give more details about the case during an afternoon news conference.
