Crystal Meth Ring Broken Up in San Diego – Mexican Drug Cartel Connections
Crystal Meth Ring Broken Up in San Diego – Mexican Drug Cartel Connections – A year long investigation into a methamphetamine ring in Chula Vista and San Diego resulted in the federal indictment of two dozen people. The investigation by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, US Homeland Security Investigations and the Chula Vista Police Department dismantled what US Attorney Laura E. Duffy said was a “significant methamphetamine distribution network” operating in the county. The indictment charged all of the defendants with a single count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Authorities served search warrants at eight homes and one business Sep. 22 as part of what they dubbed “Operation Jackhammer.” At one of the homes, they also uncovered an indoor marijuana growing operation, said Tim Durst, assistant special agent for ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations. In addition to 260 plants, agents also found several guns, including a loaded .357-caliber handgun, and 1000 rounds of ammunition, Durst said. Durst described the ring as a large scale distribution network that was tightly focused on selling the drugs primarily in San Diego County.The organization had ties to two Mexican drug cartels, but officials declined to identify them.
