A freight company was allegedly running a statewide network that, as of recently released indictments, had led to the arrest of almost 13, 000 pounds of methamphetamine and lots of weapons.
Charged in the prosecution are Adolfo Montiel, Jose Nunez, Jesus Perez-Garcia Jr., Andres Silva Corona Perez, Ruben Saenz, Elvis David Vasquez, Mirella Castillo, Sergio Pena, Kiara Sinaii Valdivia, Jesus Rafael Ulloa Vallejo, Calvin Guntetong, Jacklyn Saenz, Luz Mario Cobrera Salazar, Jose Galan Lopez, Christian Jair Sanchez Rodriguez, Allen Khamtrashyan, and Emily Vela.
However, many more brands of those accused have so far been kept secret.
Federal prosecutors filed court documents describing the company as” sophisticated” and “in operation for well over a year.” It gave” the appearance of being a reasonable travel business”, they wrote.
The group reportedly hid what supposedly weighed thousands of pounds of liquid methamphetamine in secret compartments in trucks and cars to conceal it. It was then crystallized and distributed through laboratories and safe houses spread throughout California. Hispanic manufacturers frequently used GPS devices to track the supplies.
Although pictures found in court documents show liquid methamphetamine in big closed, unmarked containers, secret divisions under cars or motorcycles, or contained within the fuel tanks, prosecutors claim that sometimes the methamphetamine was hidden in boxes of vegetables. Authorities report that they discovered 790 pounds of wet and crystalized meth at the research of an industrial methamphetamine processing facility in north Los Angeles County.
Six firearms and 60 pounds of methamphetamine were recovered from a second attack of a storage facility, which agents claim were part of the total of 35. In addition to the 12, 900 pounds of meth, officials apparently seized 23 pounds of fentanyl mix, 18 pounds of cocaine, and 10 pounds of heroin.
