A NY City Councilman, a NY State Senator and several local community leaders gathered in The Bronx today to urge the public to keep an eye out for the continued sale of dangerous synthetic marijuana, which is now against the law.

City Island Images walked around the neighborhood to find if this substance was still being sold. We entered two area businesses and the individuals behind the counter at both places told us that they were no longer selling this chemical pot. However, we then spoke with a young man on the street who assured us this substance was still readily available at his nearby corner stores. While in walking in the same area, near the corner of Lydig and Holland Avenues, we observed undercover police officers at work investigating illicit activities.

At a special General Assembly meeting, top United Nations officials have urged Member States to increase their collaborative efforts to prevent human trafficking and protect its victims.

“Where traffickers use threats and weapons, we must respond with laws and prosecutions,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said during an interactive dialogue meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York, entitled “Fighting Human Trafficking: Partnership and Innovation to End Violence Against Women.”
