Los Angeles authorities have charged three individuals linked to a Mexican drug cartel for attempting to distribute 50 pounds of fentanyl. The drugs have an estimated street value of $55 million, marking what officials claim is the largest drug bust to date. The operation began in January when investigators identified Priscilla Gomez as a courier. Following her arrest, authorities discovered substantial quantities of fentanyl and opium, with officials emphasizing the potential lives saved through this operation's success.
As Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta emphasized at a news conference, 'There's no telling how many lives would be tragically cut short and how many communities would have been devastated had these drugs been distributed.'
This operation began in January after receiving 'reliable information' about Priscilla Gomez, leading to the discovery of significant quantities of fentanyl and opium.
