NEW YORK — A group of airline employees exploited weaknesses in security procedures to help a New York drug ring smuggle heroin and cocaine through John F. Kennedy Airport, federal authorities charged Tuesday.

Several law enforcement agencies, including New York State police and the WayneNET Task Force, made what authorities are calling a major drug bust. Police are expected to release details of the bust at a news conference Thursday morning in Sodus, Wayne County.

Police say they made a major drug bust in the Kanawha Valley Tuesday night.

Authorities have released no information on a suspected drug bust in Orchard early Monday. But a neighbor told the Fort Bend Herald that she heard an explosion around 6 a.m., then she saw scores of Drug Enforcement Agency officials around the neighboring house’s yard.
