Neighbors in a gritty Bronx neighborhood breathed a sigh of relief yesterday after cops and federal agents cracked a brazen drug gang that had terrorized their streets.

Thirty-two members of a Hunts Point drug syndicate known as “Satan’s Bloods” were either arrested in morning raids by law-enforcement, were already jailed or being sought, authorities said.

The members ranged in age from 19 to 52 years old, and have street nicknames such as “Skinny,” “Macho,” “Biscuit,” “Shorts” and “Hat Boy.”

The gang dealt powder cocaine, crack and heroin “seven days a week, 24 hours a day,” along Manida and Irving Sts., according to the federal charges.

“This is in the top-10 bad places I’ve ever lived – and I’ve lived in some bad places,” said Thomas Gibson, a resident of Manida St. “It’s the slum of slums, but maybe they did some good out here today.”

The arrests come after a five-month joint investigation by the FBI and NYPD that began in March, with undercover cops making more than 100 drug buys, authorities said.

Neighbors expressed relief – and some resignation – after the arrests.

“I’m happy. It’ll be quiet around here for a few days,” said Tamicka Jones, 20, who was visiting friends on Manida St. yesterday. “But they’ll be back out here tomorrow. There’s no end to it.”

Most of the Satan’s Bloods went quietly, but in some cases, lawmen needed to break down doors with a battering ram, law enforcement sources said.

One suspect fled out the window and down the fire escape, another led cops on a 30-minute footrace, a source said. Both were arrested.

“I saw cops rushing into the buildings, and they took out mad people,” said one resident. “They took them out one by one and two by two. They got everybody they wanted.”

An NYPD tow truck operator who accused a vengeful Bronx cop of giving him a parking ticket says he was ordered to take a drug test after the Daily News started asking questions.

Marvin Robbins, a tow truck drivers’ union official, got a ticket Sunday for parking his Lexus by a fire hydrant outside his apartment in the Melrose Houses.

He says the ticket was written by Officer David Moshier, whom he had met two days earlier at a restaurant on E. 149th St. in the Bronx.

Robbins said he told the cop he was assigned to a special Internal Affairs Bureau unit that sends NYPD tow truck drivers to get illegally parked police vehicles.

Robbins was more than three hours into his shift in the Bronx on Wednesday when a supervisor told him to get a Breathalyzer and urine test, he said. All NYPD employees are subject to random drug testing, but Robbins said the timing is suspicious.

“They’re being vindictive,” he said of Moshier and police brass.

Robbins showed The News a receipt that indicates he was 6miles away when the ticket shows the violation occurred. He claims Moshier used his license plate to track him down.

NYPD officials declined comment. Moshier said he has never met Robbins. IAB is investigating.

A suspected drug dealer died Friday after being shot four times in an early morning fight on a Bronx street, police said.

Delquan Alston, 21, who took two bullets to the head and another two to the torso, was found lying in a pool of blood on E. 156th St. outside the Andrew Jackson Houses at 4 a.m., police said.

Alston was taken to Lincoln Hospital but died within minutes.

No witnesses have come forward to help detectives investigating the murder, police said.

Alston, who lived nearby on Jerome Ave., had an extensive criminal record, including convictions for drug possession, trespassing and disorderly conduct, according to records.

Investigators are exploring whether Alston was killed in a dispute over drug turf, police said.

Anyone with information about the killing is asked to call CrimeStoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
