ICE TRUCK BUSTED FOR SELLING OXYCODONE AND COCAINE ALONG WITH FROZEN TREATS

A Brooklyn man was busted for selling more than just popsicles from his Bay Ridge ice cream truck.
Authorities say Mina Gatas, 20, was nabbed by undercover cops for allegedly selling cocaine and Oxycodone along with frozen treats out of his truck parked at Owl Head’s Pier near a city park in Bay Ridge.

The Brooklyn DA called the sting “Operation Snow Cone” arresting Gatas last night after he allegedly sold cocaine from his truck to cops.

The sweet-selling dealer also allegedly sold to the undercover at a Bay Ridge deli where he worked, the spokesman said.

“Our undercover officer was doing an investigation and he struck up a conversation with the defendant in the deli,” said a spokesman for District Attorney Charles Hynes. “The defendant told him, ‘I can get you narcotics.’ They exchanged phone numbers and set up a buy.”

The undercover then allegedly bought cocaine from Gatas at the deli and out of the ice cream truck, which Gatas partly owns. Both times the undercover paid $825 for 15 grams of cocaine but actually received just under 13 grams, the spokesman said.

Gatas was arraigned this morning and bail was set at $10,000.
