"Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
A California High Patrol canine officer was involved in making one of the largest methamphetamine busts in state history last week, authorities announced on Monday.
On the morning of Aug. 16, a CHP officer stopped a 2017 Land Rover on State Route 99 in Bakersfield for a “vehicle code violation,” CHP said in a news release. “After noticing indicators of criminal activity, the officer deployed his canine, which alerted to the odor of narcotics.”
Officers searched the vehicle and found cardboard boxes packed with 500 pounds of crystal meth, according to CHP.
Two occupants of the vehicle, both from Fresno, were arrested and booked into the Kern County Jail on charges of possessing a controlled substance for sale and selling or transporting methamphetamine.
“Illegal narcotics have a devastating effect on our communities,” CHP Central Division Chief Ceto Ortiz said in a statement. “I would like to thank our Central Division Canine Unit for its continued commitment and dedication to removing dangerous narcotics from our roadways.”
That same day, two traffic stops by CHP canine officers resulted in the combined seizure of 150 pounds of drugs, 92 pounds of cocaine and 66 pounds of methamphetamine, CHP said.
Another 500 pound meth load? I guess that exact size is common.
ReplyDeleteWho even takes meth these days besides these crazy homeless people, vagrants and gangbangers? I used to know some somewhat “normal” people and recreational users who used to do meth back like 8 or 9 years ago but I feel like those days are gone and it’s just the fucked up people using it now, like weird demographics. I don’t even know the last time I heard about a teen using it. So it surprises me that they’re still trafficking so much of it.
Shits so cheap u have to move it in vast quantities to see a good profit margin
DeleteBout $700/lb now days! Dirt cheap!
DeleteMeth or fentanyl both cheap
Delete@3:37 How much is a kilo though? That tends to be my frame of reference. For example a kilo of coke I know averages at $30,000 wholesale.
Delete23 in Atl and 3 gs a kilo of hielo
Delete04:54 u in ATL?? I need 1 for 23.....
DeleteHeilo is 2$K a kilo in GA
23 is a great price. I hung it up after my Fed bid but salute to you for getting it @ that rate.
DeleteWow the biggest drug bust by CHP.

More major drug busts to come.

Delete3:54 read the article again, you are missing some key points.

DeleteBakersfield is not considered Central Valley
ReplyDeleteCentral Valley is long starting at Redding in.the north and finishing south of Bako so yes it is in the Central Valley bronie.
DeleteYes it is
DeleteSome did not remember when they took geography class in highschool.
DeleteBetter yet Google a map of California, bingo the answer is there
The Redding guy, Redding is up Northwest of California.
Your off....I won't give the answer.
Bakersfield is in the ------of California
Sol knows the answer.
The technical dividing line for Southern California and Central California is Bakersfield. The Surenos also follow this. But ask anyone in LA/OC/etc. Bako isn’t, So Cal stops at the Grapevine/mountains.
Deletegeography warriors nerds....
Delete8:44 Bako Naco are you referring to Blanko? He don't live in California.
DeleteIf you mean Bakersfield,
It would be BFC.

ReplyDeleteGood observation. You might be right. I'm not thoroughly familiar with all of the areas of California, but it looks like it might be in Jaoquin Valley by looking at the map. Correct me if I'm wrong.

San Joaquin Valley(SJV) aka Central Valley because it's located in the center of the state. Bakersfield would be in the area called Southern Central Valley. Sacramento(North), Fresno(Center) and Bakersfield (South) being the bigger cities in each region.
DeleteEverybody and their mom and dad and grandpa and grandma does it
ReplyDeleteMeth and Fetty just getting flooded now. You don’t see much Molly or X. They all must be doing La Ventana now.
