Federal agents and local law enforcement arrested four Californians and seized seven pounds of methamphetamine in Colorado Springs today, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Denver office said.
Those arrested were Jovel Cristian, 27, Martin Martinez, 21, and Rafael Amezcua, 27, all of Los Angeles, and Vicente Martinez, 40, of Salinas, Calif.
Agents received a tip about a large shipment of drugs coming into Colorado Springs, then arrested the four at a local motel today. The meth was found in a hidden compartment in their vehicle, the DEA stated.
Since October, the DEA’s Southern Colorado Drug Task Force, which includes local agencies, has seized 70 pounds of methamphetamine and arrested 24 people.
