A fine and shining example of a "gang-member"..
New York (CNN) -- A veteran New York police officer accused of equipping a robbery crew with state-of-the art police equipment and helping them loot drug dealers out of $1 million pleaded not guilty in federal court Thursday.
Jose Tejada, 45, also is accused of allowing the robbery crew to use his Manhattan apartment for their enterprise.
In court documents filed Wednesday, federal prosecutors said the crew posed as police officers and used fake warrants to arrest drug traffickers.
The crew then robbed those it arrested of their money and their stashes of marijuana, heroin, ecstasy and cocaine, authorities said.
In all, the group -- comprising Tejada and at least 21 others -- is responsible for more than 100 armed robberies throughout New York City since 2001, according to officials.
The New York Police Department officer, arrested Wednesday, faces multiple counts of robbery, drug dealing and weapons charges.
A U.S. magistrate on Thursday ordered Tejada to remain in custody.
Prosecutors said they had "overwhelming evidence" and argued the man presented a continuing danger to the community.
