NEW ROCHELLE - Seven people were arrested during an FBI raid of a grocery store at 100 Union Ave. Thursday.

The seven suspects were wanted for drug trafficking in and around New Rochelle, according to federal prosecutors. They were charged in White Plains federal court on Thursday.

The federal drug bust also included three arrests in Connecticut: Rafeal Lopez-Macias, Jaime Lopez and Juan Carlos Figueroa.

“Our office is committed to ridding New York neighborhoods of highly addictive and extremely dangerous drugs," US Attorney Geoffrey Berman said in a statment. "And we will continue to help coordinate our efforts with other U.S. Attorney’s Offices and local and federal law enforcement agencies.”

FBI and local police were at Supermercado Mexico around 5 a.m. Thursday.

“This is another example of the excellent work being performed by the joint federal, state and local drug enforcement task forces operating in Westchester and Fairfield Counties," New Rochelle Police Commissioner Joseph Schaller said in a statement. "The City of New Rochelle and the New Rochelle Police Department thank our law enforcement partners in this operation for their exceptional efforts and invaluable assistance in removing a significant number of dangerous drug traffickers from the streets of our city.”
