Six alleged members of a drug delivery service known as “Mike’s Candyshop” were arrested on Wednesday by police and federal agents and charged with distributing heroin and cocaine, including a dose that killed Colin Kroll, the co-founder of the HQ Trivia app.
Kroll, 34, who was found dead last December at his Manhattan home, was a customer of Mike’s Candyshop, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, which announced the arrests.
"As alleged, these defendants operated a covert on-demand delivery service for the distribution of highly addictive and dangerous drugs," said U.S. Attorney Geoff Berman.
The defendants were members of a drug trafficking organization that delivered heroin and cocaine on demand to customers in New York City, according to the criminal complaint. Mike’s Candyshop generally operated seven days per week, from approximately 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., with the exception of major holidays such as Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve, and Labor Day.
