aggiddor Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (1010 WINS) (MORRISTOWN, N.J.) An investigation of an international drug trafficking ring led to five arrests and the seizure of more than $60 million worth of cocaine, authorities said. According to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, those arrested were part of a Mexican drug trafficking group with significant ties to New Jersey and New York. The arrests came Saturday, while officers from Morris County, Madison Borough and New York City conducted surveillance in several places, including a suspected stash house in Madison. During the surveillance, officers stopped a car with Pennsylvania license plates in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. The officers saw 100 kilograms of cocaine in plain view and arrested both men. In the afternoon, another two men left the Madison house in a car with New York registration. Officers followed the car to a convenience store, where they detained those men, pending a search warrant for the house. The warrant was executed that evening, and the search turned up another 575 kilograms of cocaine placed inside white plastic buckets and covered in fruit preserves, authorities said. A fifth man found inside the house also was arrested. Besides the $60.8 million in cocaine, authorities seized $10,000 in U.S. currency. Three men were charged with conspiracy, cocaine possession, cocaine possession with intent to distribute more than 5 ounces, and cocaine possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school. They are Jose DeJesus Jimenez Sanchez, 21, of Juarez Guadalajara, Mexico; Jose Manuel Romero, 30, of Ontario, Calif.; and Mario Ortega Maravilla, 35, of Pomona, Calif. Bail for each was set at $1 million. Two other men were charged with cocaine possession and cocaine possession with intent to distribute, and held without bail. They were identified as Orlando Rodriguez, 56, of Manhattan, N.Y.; and Oscar Machado, 35, of the Bronx, N.Y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
