| Los Angeles drug authorities have seized a record $33 million worth of narcotics during a massive bust in Norco. |
Around 3,552 pounds of methamphetamine and 66 kilograms (145 pounds) of cocaine were seized by the Los Angeles Field Division of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This marks the largest amount of methamphetamine ever seized by the division, authorities say.
Investigators had been tracking a cocaine and meth drug trafficking ring with alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel. In late September, DEA agents and Fontana Police tracked down a Norco home where drugs were being stored. Authorities spotted a person carrying out “three weighted boxes from the residence” and placing them in a vehicle.

Authorities found over 145 pounds of cocaine inside the vehicle and over 3,200 pounds of meth inside the home’s garage — an estimated street value of $33 million.

Norco is a city in Riverside County, California, southeast of Los Angeles. Norco is known as Horsetown, USA, and prides itself on being a "horse community," with horse trails, hitching posts, and corrals, and city ordinances requiring construction to have a "traditional, rustic... Western flavor." The Los Angeles area remains a “major transshipment hub where illegal drugs coming from the southwest border are stored in local warehouses, storage units, and residential properties,” police say.
“Synthetic drugs like methamphetamine are highly addictive, dangerous, and killing people at alarming rates,” said DEA Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge Bill Bodner. “This massive seizure likely saved lives and prevented the Sinaloa Cartel from doing business and profiting on the lives of people in our communities.” The investigation into the drug trafficking organization remains ongoing.

No thanks
DeleteSo this is the biggest one in history now. I remember the other historic one in 2020. That was only 2,200. The meth supply increased by a lot since Covid. Ton after ton has been getting seized. Cocaine has been downhill since the late 00's. Now it's just outplayed. Welcome to the Meth and fentanyl era! The Chapitos and their tio Guano, Los Valencia and the Oseguera Cervantes family all run the game now. Now they wish Mexico had Nacho Coronel again! It's all fucked up.
ReplyDeleteThe drug of opportunity/fortune changes constantly, I remember 15+ years back out here in Cali cristal was clearly (jaja) overtaking coca, before that it was cranka that the youth were on.
DeleteDrug Lords have become more heartless regarding the collateral consequences of the drugs they traffic but I'm sure the OGs from the 70s and 80s felt that way for the next generation of drug dealers.
It's corny and square but "just say no to drugs", IDGAF if you're this wanted famous drug lord, society at large will give you your 5 minutes of fame and then fuck off with all your supposed accomplish while dying in a cell or buried in a coffin.
I believe that about the change of opportunity. I wonder if the market got bigger or if there are just so many players now that the game isn't what it was before. Marijuana is blown out. I think meth has always been popular in the west. Since the 90's and before, the Amezcua Contreras had operations in California. El Indio Alvarez-Vasquez pushed a lot of work through San Diego under Sinaloa/Beltran Leyva. It's as if either cartels divide by region or they simply act according to demand. I wonder if narcos were more decent back then too. Maybe it was the stronger religious background they were raised by that made them know limits. If we remember our grandfather's most of us know how they were more traditional. I know of someone's grandfather that while he didn't care for human law very much, he feared natural law and God. Every evil deed was a more severe punishment in hell. I think that's what has been lost. Fear of God is not present anymore. Maybe it's just tales. Evil has always been there. If this opportunity was present at that moment in time they would they have taken it? Who knows? I know Guadalajara was clean when Nacho Coronel was in charge of the territory. Those narcos had respect for their own land. Almost like some national pride in the fight against gringos.
DeleteNacho coronel was in the way for the big bosses. There was too many players and nacho was not ready for that position.
DeleteNacho is overrated.
Mencho took out everyone in jalisco and put everyone in check and that's how cjng was created.
Just in case you didn't know
@4:39 pm Nacho overrated? If you didn’t know mencho was nachos errand boy . Everyone respected Nacho and if he hadn’t died Mencho would of still been running errands for him . Mencho never took out everyone in Jalisco he doesn’t even control Jalisco he controls some areas but don’t make it seem like he’s at CDS level because he’s clearly not . He can’t even control his home state of Michoacán and is starting to see the effects of all his wars he’s losing in many fronts .
DeleteThat's nonsense. Nacho Coronel was already in a bigger position. The Coronel family has always been strong in Guadalajara. Through Nacho and the Sinaloense bosses they received a lot of support and financing for their loads in Colombia. They were also backed in their war against El Tisico's Familia Michoacana which was started over the love of a woman. El Mencho introduced that woman (his cousin) to El Cuini. El Cuini decided to take what wasn't his for the first time. Back to Nacho, he was the boss/partner of El Lobo Valencia aka El Tierno. El Chapo and Nacho respected
DeleteEl Lobo and considered him someome in their league in terms of trafficking capacity. El Lobo Valencia and his brother El Tigre Valencia were the successors of their uncle Armando Valencia Cornelio for the Milenio. They both were in charge of their family traitors El Mencho, El 85, and the most important man; El Cuini Valencia. El Lobo was the one who gave Cuini an opportunity to become a player. El Lobo was later arrested. This is suspected to be a betrayal of el Cuini. El Cuini had two of El Lobo's cousins in Los Angeles working for him. He had them executed too. El Tigre later went down in Colima. When Nacho Coronel was killed, guess who likely were the ones who made a government deal to eliminate him. El Cuini and El Mencho didn't clean anything, they betrayed the hand that made them and made a deal
Ehh JAGL is who betrayed ICV, shortly before he was killed the day Calderon was in ZMG, PROCESO published an article where they started floating the rumor he was going to break away from CDS as he was very strong in power and dissatisfied with two of the other three bosses. Who has contact/influence with PROCESO? He who gave them an interview.
DeleteCorrect me if I'm wrong but before he was killed first Lobo and then Tigre were captured, this last one a few weeks before Nacho was killed.
Internet rumors say 85 is a half brother of AVC. Whatever the case may be, 85 is a Valencia and the natural successor after the fall of the Nava Valencia brothers. Pilo would have just followed orders from above. Lets acknowledge the fact that the raza from El Sur were more and probably had more power than the Nacho and his people. I'll continue in a while
10:35 You’re hella wrong about coke. Coke in the mid to late 2010s was way better than coke in the early 2000s. Coke purity started rising again in 2014 and reached its peak in late 2019 before eventually coming back down again with the pandemic. Before May of 2020 coke was fire in America. Something happened in May though and ever since then quality has not returned to normal in the states.
Delete@9:28 I made the comment @4:37 and the one regarding who pulled ICV card.
DeleteICV was the CDS boss/representative of that group in Jalisco for 10+ years but let's remember that throughout the 90s until their capture Los AC/CDC were big players in that area, Los Güeritos were another important group and of course during the late 90s Los Valencia/Milenio we're operating in Jalisco before and most certainly after being pushed out of Michoacán. At least three of these groups and perhaps others like the Gonzalez clan from Teocaltiche, El Tirso and maybe El Tio Flores became one group or at least cooperated and coordinated amongst themselves the trafficking of product and peace in the state. I certainly don't believe AVC would follow orders from ICV so I'll say after the capture of Maradona is when Nachito started consolidating his position as the man in charge of Jalisco.
I was incarcerated with a man that knew ICV and said dude was a little guy physically and if you didn't know who he was well you could make the mistake of trying to punk him and perhaps get dealt with but alas ICV was respectful and humble so you might get a pass. About 5'2" was his height. Called him Huaraches de Oro. Mentioned a time ICV wanted to buy some tractors in CLN and was dressed casually so the sales rep judged him as without money, he left that dealership and went to another one close by and bought several tractors on the spot. Sales rep got fired for being a dumbass.
El Lobo before being arrested had a disagreement regarding money owed to them (Milenio) by Nacho/CDS so it could be he was the one who gave up Lobo to the government. That Lobos close family has lost power and standing with their arrest sounds like sour grapes, even in legitimate businesses the backstabbing is real what can be expected in criminal businesses. The ill gotten cannot endure, especially when it comes from the misery and perdition of others.
I don't believe that Ines Oceguera was the only reason AVC fought El Tisico, it's also known that while they were working together one or several Valencias we're stealing kilos from shipments and Maradona wasn't holding them accountable so Tisico had them killed and that action along with the fight for Ines started that war.
I maybe wrong but the chatter is Mencho and Los Cuinis got some clients and money while working in California, I think Cuini got busted for manufacturing crank/cristal and we know Mencho got busted twice for narcotics. Around 95-96 is when some corridos for both of them started being sung by then regional groups in the Central Valley. Could it be that through the manufacturing of meth and having numerous siblings that were also involved in the business and could continue that business if any of them got arrested the Gonzalez Valencia family grew powerful while residing in California? Isn't the story that by trafficking to Europe and Asia is how Los Cuinis managed to remain under the radar and get wealthy when they returned to México?
In my opinion the stronger, smarter and more legitimate group took control of the state, I think this group had or has old school traffickers backing them that did not consider being in CDS a viable option. 🍺
12:22 That's a very interesting possibility about Chapo. Nacho was with him in the war against Beltran Leyva. I don't think he liked the internal violence and when his son was killed that was the final strike for him to leave the mess. Under what motive would El Chapo kill him? This was his top liutenant in Guadalajara. He would just have caused a war against the Coroneles. He even married one of their daughters? I don't know how much weight that statement can hold. El Lobo and El Nacho did have some arguments over accounts that escalated to physical fighting. I think Nacho was punched one time by El Lobo, he pulled his pistol out in defense and told El Lobo "desde aqui son contras." I
Deletecan't picture El Lobo being a rat. Neither Coronel, he wanted things done his way. El Lobo did fuck el Cuini with the government after he was convinced he was betrayed by him. El Cuini in his greedy ambition is more suspicious. Never trust someone who is capable of taking someone's wife. You're right about who went down first. El Lobo was captured in 2009. Nacho was killed in 2010. If El 85 is the natural succesor, then it goes to show how Mencho is really just a figurehead. He continues to be the head of security and will die for it. The main Valencia bloodline has the throne. Not Mencho. He just married into it. I believe el Cuini bestowed Mencho with responsibilities and el 85 is content with it. Those stories about them being enemies is just smoke and mirrors.
1:03. I never spoke about quality. I said its popularity as as a dominant drug of choice in America that brings in profit has diminished. The Colombians have always had their ways. Unless you deal with them you will never know what you're truly getting in quality. Basic test can also tell you so much. I'll leave it at that. If quality went down after the epidemic maybe its because things are bad. Cheaper sale in a bad economy
Delete5:47 I don't know much about Los Gueritos. Based on what I read it looks like they were independent but had to choose allying with Sinaloa through Nacho or choose the Gulf. They chose the latter for their drug trafficking route. The Valencia family was still growing while The Sinaloense and Duranguense family already had a foothold in Jalisco. I still wonder how much control CJNG really has in Guadalajara. That city is "tierra de nadie" as the people say. I don't know about Los Gonzalez and El Tirso but they had to have been under the Sinaloa belt. As for El Tio Flores, I think he mostly focused on the USA. I can't see Armando Valencia following orders but he had to have been approached by Nacho's people if he was working in Guadalajara. It is Nacho who first had influence in Jalisco, Colima, and Nayarit. Turf agreements would be made in Guadalajara. Stories of El Indio Vasquez say that he had a lot of Tonalá, Jalisco for the Beltran Leyva but could not go past an avenue or work in the actual city of Guadalajara. The same went for his allies. The Quinteros, Coroneles, and more had the city. Everyone ate.
DeleteIf Los Cuinis were stealing shipments from the Familia Michoacana then it's more evidence of how backstabbing these individuals are to get what they want. No wonder they were Los Torcidos/Traidores. This is not about sour grapes 8r expectations in the world of narcos. This is about disloyalty and betrayal.
Nacho walking in like a humble person and power playing those weak ass Mexican judgemental and arrogant type of people makes me smile. There's a lot of raza in Mexico like that.
If course they got connected in California. San Francisco is the stronghold. They are skilled are networking so they became huge. I believe they did get more power by trafficking in Europe and Asia. They have made many alliances there too.
I agree that what you say is very much an opinion. If we measure intelligence by how skillful you are at betrayal. If Roman emperors couldn't foresee their demise, how could narcos? What old school narco would back them up by the way?
@El Mickeyson Los Cuinis are not related to Maradona, Lobo, Tigre or 85 and were not some of the Valencias that Tisico killed for stealing kilos from shipments. Both Carlitos and AVC were after Ines Oceguera, I think Maradona won out in that battle and had a child/children with her and the loss of a womans love who one is trying to conquistar can fuck with ones mind. Maybe AVC knowingly did it for pleasure and to one up CARM?
Delete85 is the natural successor Of Los Valencia/Milenio but remember he nominated Mencho to be the Boss, Co Boss, or wartime Boss perhaps because EVS for whatever reason didn't want to lead this new group during the conflicts that were going to continue against other cartels. They were tight before, during and very likely after 85 was somehow released from federal prison "unexpectedly" and most likely are compadres.
RNOC is the childhood father of JCVG/3 who is a son of AVC and nephew of 85, online rumors and Cholos video gives us an idea of his value within NG. I'll continue in the day...
They knew if this was an investigation done by local and state someone was just going to come up.
ReplyDeleteCan you say Witness Protection?
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as a witness protection program. The Cartels have far reaching tentacles, if they want you, you will be found.
DeleteOuch big loss. Some heads will be rolling.
ReplyDeleteThis is an untrusting bust it’s huge seizure this is a sign of a cartel loosing support by DEA this is really bad or probably even CIA both of them are crooked ass fuck
ReplyDeleteThese snitchaloas keep getting busted and killed lately too much snitching going on within the infighting of cdsnitches
ReplyDeleteLet them snitch wtf you care.
Delete10:46 what do care if I care?
DeleteWHO CARES!!...
LET THE SNITCHES BE SNITCHES
10:35 you, in your infinite ignorance, are SNITCHING, for free, why?
DeleteCoke is still king
ReplyDeleteCocaine is still popular among lots of people from different backgrounds especially high school and college age kids. it's got a different image than meth or heroin, more classy drug
ReplyDeleteEspecially college and high school age? Uh not in America. Maybe in the UK or something but in the US people typically don’t get into coke (or at least regular use of it) until their mid to late 20s. College age kids maybe do it every now and again but the people who are hitting up their coke dealers regularly are definitely more like 27ish not 21ish. Younger ones tend to use MDMA or nitrous or psychedelics
Delete5:14 and 12:57 One part is true, but I think overall it's no longer the most profitable for dealers pushing weight. Powder Cocaine is done more by the wealthy demographic. The teens from 17 and up start buying grams. Rich college kids also love to do it regularly. People that major in particular fields use it all the time to stay up. The ghetto and lower income places is where crack takes hold. The poorer areas have always been the prime place in the USA. Ex. Hoods in South Central LA, hoods in west side/south side Chicago, Bronx in NY, Detroit, poor areas in Baltimore and Philadelphia, and much more. Look at Detroit, a devastated place, where some of the biggest dealers have ever come out of. The glory days of cocaine are over now in the hood
DeleteProbably about 1million, 4 hundred thousand grams of METH. Ewww
ReplyDeleteGAsonoraN- that's a lie I live there. (Sarcasm)
ReplyDeleteDorky comment.
Deleteits all for equestrian use norco Mira loma jurupa
ReplyDeleteLoosing That Coke hurts them more than loosing that Meth. But nothing is as bad as loosing paper money.
ReplyDelete100% correct
DeleteWell it’s not called Norco anymore…. Narco USA now
