2017-10-11
[NYPOST] Drug-enforcement agents nabbed a tractor-trailer loaded with 21 kilos of heroin laced with fentanyl
Nasty.
as it drove through The Bronx, authorities said Tuesday.

The truck with Maine license plates was being driven by Luciano Osobampo-Armenta, 33, on Oct. 8 around 8:50 p.m. on Bruckner Boulevard, they said.

Investigators with the DEA Strike Force stopped the trailer as part of an investigation and found 6 kilos of the drugs in the cab of the truck and 15 kilos in the trailer.

The drug was wrapped in vacuum-sealed plastic-wrapped brick-shaped packages.

According to the criminal complaint, the driver was the sole occupant of the truck.

#7  Poss Mexican driver and a Canada border/seacoast state registered vehicle. 43 lbs is not a shipment it’s a hobby, because the driver had transport access. He may have had a NY route and was near his terminus.

#6   Maybe that's why they don't have quite the drug problem we do are not losing it the way we are.

Of course not. They export the components to other countries, and profit off them.

#5  Definitely a war story. We got all kinds of ways to fight wars. The Chinese even fight this kind of war a bit differently. In China Mr. Osobampo-Armenta would end up on his knees with his hands tied behind his back and a pistol at the back of his head. Maybe that's why they don't have quite the drug problem we do are not losing it the way we are.

#4  The truck with Maine license plates

It appears Maine is the Liberia (as in ship registration) for trailer registration.

#2  Was it a NAFTA truck?
Cut and wrapped.
I wonder what point of origin the molecular analysis shows.

#1  That's just Mr. Osobampo-Armenta's, his cartel employer's and China's (fentanyl) way of showing their love for America.
