New York police raided a three-story residential building housing Fun World Childcare on Wednesday and found cabinets stuffed with cash, at least a kilo of coke and more than 1,000 Oxycodone pills, officials said Thursday.
About 300 grams of the cocaine were found packed in an insulated blue lunch bag "that could be carried by a child," a law enforcement source said.
A married couple — Gregorio Hanley, 41, and Johanna Vasquez, 31 — who run the Rosedale Ave. day care center and live on the same floor with their two sons, 6 and 3, were arrested on drug and weapons possession charges, officials said.
Sources said investigators raided the Parkchester building at 11:30 p.m. after they spotted Hanley conducting a drug deal outside the address three hours earlier.
Investigators followed the vehicle, arrested one person inside and found 150 grams of coke, according to sources.
A search of the day care center turned up $20,000 in a kitchen cabinet in the couple's apartment, and, in an empty basement apartment, $30,000 worth of pills, $50,000 worth of white powder, 150 grams of crack-cocaine and drug-packaging supplies, sources said.
The lunch bag with the coke was found in the empty apartment's fridge, which the 15 children that attend day care can access from outside, officials said.
Investigators also raided an apartment across the street that Hanley had keys to and found $160,000, a money counter and a loaded 9-mm. handgun hidden inside a television stand, cops said.
Parents dropping off their children Thursday were greeted by a letter taped to the door:
"A family emergency occurred very late last night and I was unable to message you. Fun World will be closed today. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience."
Neighbor Spencer Jones, 19, said the couple's flashy cars and renovation projects seemed too good to be true.
"I was like, something is going on," said Jones. "There is no way a day care is making this much money."
