Jose Tejada, 45, is accused of participating in a violent robbery ring that stole money and drugs from suspected drug dealers.

An ex-cop was sentenced to 25 years in prison yesterday for robbing drug dealers with a gang—who he outfitted in NYPD gear—on the side.

A 39-year-old retired NYPD officer has been charged with providing a Brooklyn cocaine ring with "two NYPD raid jackets and a holster for a 9mm. semi-automatic handgun."
