U.S.
authorities bust Mexico drug network in Arizona

TEMPE,
Ariz (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have arrested 203 people and smashed a
Mexican trafficking ring that funneled
millions of dollars in drugs to Arizona for
the powerful Sinaloa cartel, officials said
on Tuesday.
The
multi-agency bust, led by Tempe police and
the Drug Enforcement Administration,
dismantled a cell running heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana to
Arizona for the Sinaloa Cartel, headed by Mexico's
most wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman.
"Operation
Crank Call" began when a Tempe police officer
arrested two men in a street-level drug deal last year. One of the suspects was
later identified as a delivery driver for the Mexican smuggling ring.
It
subsequently led to 203 arrests, the seizure of more than 1,200 pounds of
narcotics, $7.8 million in drug cash and 44 guns across the Phoenix valley area
over a 15-month period, police said.
"Operation
Crank Call deals another significant blow to the drug
trafficking organizations that continue to try and make the Phoenix
metropolitan area a primary hub of drug distribution," said Doug Coleman,
the DEA's acting special agent in charge.
"By
dismantling this group, DEA and our partners have taken large quantities of
drugs, millions of dollars in drug trafficker assets, and powerful weapons off
our streets," he added.
The
Sinaloa cartel is fighting rival traffickers in Mexico, where surging
drug-related violence has killed more than 44,000 people since President Felipe
Calderon took office in 2006 and sent the military to crush the powerful
smugglers.
The
cartel funnels narcotics through the Mexico border state, sneaking loads
through the ports of entry, through clandestine tunnels and over the porous
border and through the desert.
Police
said those arrested included U.S. and Mexican citizens. Charges brought in the
case ranged from simple possession and drug
paraphernalia offenses to trafficking charges.
Coleman
said the investigation was ongoing and expected further arrests.
