NEW YORK CITY — The DEA arrested six people accused of delivering heroin and cocaine while disguising themselves as Uber drivers.

Police seized a kilo of cocaine, five cars, and over $22,000 this week in the Operation “Uber Connect” bust, Fox 5 reported.

The suspects apparently made runs to over 100 customers while driving in cars outfitted with fake Uber stickers.

Two other dealers were arrested last week, according to the report.
