In this current event, it has to do with drug dealers getting caught after a three year investigation. 59 people were arrested locally last Thursday, for trafficking drugs based in their network in San Diego, and forty of those have already been prosecuted. Investigators started to investigate their trafficking since April of 2004 from the United States and Mexico. Which soon 200 people were able to be identified in the organization, they smuggled large quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin from Guadalajara, Mexico through Tijuana and into the United States. And most of these drugs were packed in Chula Vista. The ways they sealed, packaged, and hid the drugs was using such practices as stuffing tomato sauce and menudo cans with marijuana and sealing them back up. As soon as they were packaged the drugs were moved to other cities, including San Francisco; Anaheim; Riverside; Yakima, Wash.; Detroit, Mi,; Atlanta, New York and Greensboro, N.C. Officials said homes in some of those cities served as “stash houses” for some of the drugs. Investigators also seized $9 million in San Diego County and a total of $25 million in the operation.
