Illegal med market springs back to life just days after Post exposé forced NYPD raid

An illicit open-air prescription drug market in Washington Heights sprang back to life this weekend — days after the NYPD shut it down following a Post expose.

About 10 vendors were spotted Friday setting up tables along St. Nicholas Avenue, near West 180th Street and West 181st Street, brazenly selling prescription painkillers, erectile dysfunction pills, antibiotics and other meds, along with vitamins and over-the-counter products.

The sellers returned three days after at least six police cars swarmed the sprawling street pharmacy, sending pill peddlers running with their stashes.
