EXHIBIT:
Exhibit 1, 25 kilograms of suspected cocaine was seized on
03-04-2005, at approximately 5:00 PM., by elements from the
Lucha Contra el Narcotrafico (DLCN) from a residence
located at Las Uvas number 21 in Comayaguela, Honduras.
The exhibit was processed according to the administrative
policies of the DLCN.
Details:
1. In early October of 2004, CS-02-109072 provided the TCO
and the INL supported Vetted Unit (TCOVU) with intelligence
regarding the cocaine trafficking organization of Alberto
CROOKS-SAENZ (GFTI-05-4004). The TCOVU commenced analyzing
telephone toll data and conducted surveillances of several
meetings between CS-02-109072, and various members of the
CROOKS-SAENZ organization.
2. In December of 2004, SA Tony Sanes directed CS-02-
109072 to introduce CS-05-118192 to the various members of
the organization. The CS was introduced to Rene RANGEL, a
mid-level distributor for the organization. Over the
course of three months, the CS and RANGEL subsequently had
several meetings where they discussed narcoticS trafficking.
3. On 3-04-2005, CS-05-118192 was contacted by Rene
RANGEL, who advised the CS that he had 25 kilograms of
cocaine to sell.
4. On 3-04-2005, SA Tony Sanes and elements of the TCOVU,
formulated and executed a surveillance of a meeting between
the CS and RANGEL.
5. Because of this surveillance, SA Sanes and the TCOVU
were able to identify a vehicle that was being utilized to
transport cocaine. Additionally, the surveillance revealed
a residence located at Las Uvas #21 in Comayaguela,
Honduras, that was being used to facilitate the re-
packaging of kilogram size bricks of cocaine.
6. On 3-04-2005, at approximately 5:00 P.M., the TCOVU
provided intelligence gleaned from the surveillance to
elements of the Lucha Contra el Narco trafico (DLCN) and
the Frontier Police (FP).
7. This intelligence resulted in a search by the DLCN and
the FP of a 2001 Mazda pick-up, white in color, bearing
Honduras vehicle plate PAB 3935. At the time of the
search, the vehicle was occupied by defendant GUIFARRO.
Located on the person of GUIFFARRO was a fully loaded 9mm
semi-automatic pistol. Located within the cab of the
vehicle was a 12-gauge shotgun loaded with 5 rounds of
ammunition. Located within the bed of the pick-up was an
ice chest that contained approximately 25 kilograms of
cocaine. GUIFARRO was subsequently placed under arrest for
narcotic violations.
8. A search of the residence located at Las Uvas number 21
conducted by the DLCN and the FP resulted in the seizure of
a metal press used to repackage cocaine, packaging
material, various metal stamps that contained logo
markings, approximately 55 lbs of manitol, and a 22 caliber
pistol. Arrested at the residence for narcotics violations
were defendants: GARCIA-ROMERO, TINICO-COLEMAN, and
MAIRENA-MARTINEZ.
9. This cable is being submitted in lieu of a DEA 6 in
accordance to DEA Agent Manual, Section 6242.11.
10. The TCO will report information, as it becomes
available regarding this matter.
11. Any questions or comments can be directed to CA Mark
DiScenza or SA Tony Sanes at 301-985-9321.
