A middle-aged couple was arrested for selling crack on the mean streets of gritty SoHo. Antonio Henriques, 51, and his wife Mary, 47, lived and worked out of a basement of a building on Sullivan Street between Prince and Houston. According to the Post , the pair “attracted a parade of seedy buyers who would line up early in the morning, waiting near designer shops and million-dollar condos.” Police say they had been selling for at least three months; they were arrested at the end of April, and 192 bags of crack were found in their possession (for some comparison, police only recovered 41 bags of crack in a massive Rockaway bust earlier this year). One local resident described the scene the morning after the arrest: “There was a group of despondent crackheads roaming the street.”
