State police raided a mansion near Apalachin uncovering 65 men described as attendees of a supposed sick friend visit. Officers say the group included convicted criminals with camouflaged mob ties, carrying large cash sums but no weapons. Participants came from multiple states and territories.
After a police raid, all men identified themselves and were released. Sgt. Edgar Croswell said investigators found no concrete charges, though the group included known criminals such as dope peddlers and bootleggers. The gathering, described as unlawful, sparked suspicions of wider rackets connections and nearby crime activity.
