4 Tijuana men charged in connection with massive, possibly record-setting meth bust in National City [Breaking]
Authorities on Thursday made one of the largest methamphetamine busts ever in San Diego County, seizing more than 5,000 pounds of the drug and arresting four Tijuana men as they worked to unload it in National City, prosecutors said Friday.
The 20-foot box truck that was allegedly hauling the narcotics crossed the U.S.-Mexico border a little before 5 p.m. Thursday through the Otay Mesa Port of Entry’s commercial lanes, according to a probable cause statement written by DEA Special Agent Rashaad Scott. Sheriff’s detectives also made note of a white Hyundai hatchback with three occupants and Baja California license plates staying close to the truck, Scott wrote. With detectives following the two vehicles, and a sheriff’s helicopter tracking their movements from above, the truck and car eventually both ended up in a National City business district.
Two of the men, twin brothers, took off running, but detectives quickly detained them and the other two men, Scott wrote. A drug-sniffing dog from the Sheriff’s Department then zeroed in on the packages the men had been moving between the vehicles.
