Twenty-two people have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Fresno, California, over alleged smuggling of more than 12,000 pounds of methamphetamine and dozens of pounds of fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin from Mexico, prosecutors recently announced.
The drug smuggling ring is accused of stashing liquid, powder, and pill versions of the drugs inside portable projectors, batteries, semi-trucks and even in the gas tanks of cars—all while being tracked by GPS devices—according to a June 17 press release by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of California.
