New York ( CNN ) -- A heroin processing location holding $ 8 million worth of the drug was busted in New York , along with drug paraphernalia stamped with brands such as `` NFL '' and `` government shutdown , '' authorities said Friday . A raid , which involved the DEA 's New York Drug Enforcement Task Force , New York City police , and New York State Police , netted 33 pounds of heroin at a Bronx apartment that served as a `` high-volume heroin packaging location , '' according to a statement from New York 's Special Narcotics Prosecutor 's Office . The bust was the product of a surveillance operation in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx on Thursday night , authorities said . Cristino Then , 25 , was arrested after officers observed him delivering a package to the residence , the statement said . He was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree , criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminally using drug paraphernalia in the second degree . Shortly after Then was picked up , another suspect , Augustin Rivera , was seen climbing out of a fifth-floor window of the same residence , the statement said . He was arrested on the same charges as Then . Both men were to be arraigned later Friday . Bags of heroin labeled 'Obama Care ' seized . Police entered the residence through a fire escape on the fifth floor , the statement said . They seized the heroin and drug paraphernalia , including 18 coffee grinders , rubber bands , baking soda , face masks , and `` hundreds of thousands of individual 'glassine ' bags stamped with numerous `` brand names '' including 'NFL , ' 'Government Shutdown , ' 'iPhone , ' and 'Olympics 2012 , ' '' the statement said . Law enforcement officials said coffee grinders are typically used in heroin processing to cut the pure substance with a diluting agent such as baking soda . Heroin laced with dangerous substances such as fentanyl , a painkiller used by cancer patients , in recent weeks resulted at least 22 deaths from overdoses in Pennsylvania . In New York , the Nassau County Medical Examiner 's Office was investigating several deaths linked to heroin laced with fentanyl , Nassau County police said in a statement Friday . Evidence from two of cases was analyzed and determined to contain fentanyl in combination with the banned compound antipyretic metamizole . Metamizole is an analgesic , and antipyretic is a fever reducer that is similar in use to ibuprofen , the statement said . The glassine packets in which the heroin was packed were stamped as `` 24K '' in red ink . Referring to the bust in the Bronx , Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan said in a statement : `` A seizure of this size should open everyone 's eyes to the magnitude of the heroin problem confronting us . We 've heard from public officials throughout the Northeast of soaring addiction within their own localities . '' She added , `` The brand names used are tied to upcoming events , indicating the savvy and sophistication of the heroin distribution ring .
