A Bay Shore man who authorities say turned his Deer Park auto repair shop into a cocaine distribution hub was convicted at a bench trial on more than a dozen drug-related charges. Uriel Rose, 43, sold cocaine out of his Beema Boyz garage, authorities said, in an operation that investigators spent nearly a year unraveling before raiding the business.
The investigation began in June 2024, when police started looking into Rose's shop, according to Daily Voice. Over the following ten months, an undercover detective purchased cocaine from Rose on seven different occasions, authorities said, building the case that would culminate in a search warrant executed at Beema Boyz on April 10, 2025, as Newsday reported.
When officers entered the shop that day, Rose allegedly fled for the exit, according to prosecutors, and tried to flush much of the cocaine he possessed down a bathroom toilet. Investigators recovered cocaine from the toilet, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said, along with more than eight ounces of cocaine found on Rose's office desk. Cocaine residue also turned up on his clothing, per the DA's office, which separately described him as allegedly possessing about eight ounces of cocaine during the search — a figure that differs slightly from the quantity Newsday reported was recovered from the desk alone.
Ledgers, Scales and a Hot Plate
Beyond the drugs themselves, police said they found cash, a money counter, drug ledgers, scales and packaging materials stashed in a garbage can at the shop. The same search turned up a hot plate that investigators described as having been used for cooking crack-cocaine, the outlet's report notes. Officers also recovered packages labeled Ahijado from an office trash can, which investigators believed were used to transport kilograms of cocaine.
Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said Rose turned an automotive shop into a narcotics distribution hub and repeatedly sold drugs to an undercover detective. Rose was initially charged with first-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, seven counts of third-degree criminal sale, eight counts of third-degree criminal possession, tampering with physical evidence and two counts of criminally using drug paraphernalia, and he pleaded not guilty to all 19 counts following his indictment.
Convictions Span Sale, Possession and Paraphernalia Counts
At the conclusion of the bench trial, Rose was convicted of seven counts of third-degree drug distribution, eight counts of third-degree drug possession, first-degree drug possession and three counts of criminally using drug paraphernalia, according to the same report. Court records cited in the dossier show Rose has four prior felony convictions dating back to 2002, including drug sales and reckless endangerment. Federal authorities had separately named Rose as a major trafficker in a 2015 Bronx-to-Suffolk County heroin distribution operation, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Rose is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on December 1, 2026, and faces 12 to 24 years in prison on the top count. The case marks the latest chapter for a Deer Park business that, according to investigators, had been quietly moving kilogram quantities of cocaine while operating in plain sight as an auto repair shop.
