Drug network dismantled in New Jersey

In a simple two-bedroom apartment in Plainsboro, New Jersey three native Colombians allegedly planned the distribution into East Coast cities of as much as 1,000 pounds a year of heroin smuggled into the country by a Colombian drug cartel, federal authorities alleged yesterday.

Operation Streamline, a massive international effort to stop a pipeline of heroin that originated in Cali, Colombia, and was routed through Miami for destinations in New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia, ended this week with 11 arrests in the United States and South America and the seizure of 1.7 pounds of heroin.

Before this week, authorities arrested 17 people and seized 108 pounds of heroin in connection with Operation Streamline.

Dismantled, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced yesterday, was a network of traffickers that pumped an estimated 990 pounds of nearly pure heroin a year into the United States.

The shipments allegedly were planned by Jose and Lorena Garcia, 33 and 28 years old, who lived in building 13 at the Pheasant Hollow Apartments with relative Diego Garcia, 28, according to the DEA in Newark.

All three have been apprehended and charged with multiple federal drug counts alleging conspiracy to import and distribute heroin into the United States. Jose Garcia also faces possession with intent to distribute heroin.

"They were using the residence as a kind of an operation headquarters for the distribution in New Jersey and New York areas," DEA Special Agent Mark Moger alleged yesterday.

Moger, of the DEA's Newark office, said high profile drug dealers assimilating themselves into suburban residential neighborhoods near major interstate highways, like Plainsboro, is not new to the DEA.

"We've encountered this before," Moger said. "It's easy access to the Turnpike to go north to Newark Airport, or (points) south on the Turnpike," Moger said.

"Accessibility, but quiet," Moger said as to why the Garcias may have chosen to live in Plainsboro, New Jersey .

On Tuesday evening, Jose Garcia was apprehended as he got off a plane in Newark from Colombia carrying 3/4 of a kilogram of heroin, Moger said.

Jose Garcia goes by the name, "El Mono," officials said.

The next night, Wednesday, federal agents searched the Pheasant Hollow apartment rented by Jose Garcia, looking for the operation's drug trafficking and money laundering records, and agents found both, Moger said. Also found was a small amount of cocaine.

Jose Garcia is a naturalized American citizen. Lorena and Diego were in the country legally with green cards, Moger said.

Word that their neighbors were alleged international heroin dealers connected to a Colombian drug cartel stunned building 13 residents yesterday.

"You are shocking the living hell out of me," a father of two in the building said, his wife and son sitting on a couch with looks of disbelief.

"(Diego) was real friendly . . . He even gave my wife a ride once or twice," the man said. All the residents, after learning of the Colombian cartel connection, asked that their names not be published.

As they thought back on the Garcias roughly three to four years at the complex, the father and mother said they see certain routines differently now.

Lorena, Jose and Diego, who were all friendly, chatty at times and held jobs here at times, talked frequently of being from Colombia and of their frequent trips back home to visit, the residents said.

The trio always had a lot of people visiting their second-floor apartment at all hours, with a concentration of what appeared to be 18- to 20-year-old men. Last night, residents said they heard people still living in the apartment.

The Garcias received steady deliveries of boxes from shipping companies, neighbors said. One resident wondered if the packages were drugs.

"We held some (of the packages) inside the apartment here when they were not home," one woman said.

Late Wednesday, residents heard what sounded like people thumping suitcases down the stairs from the apartment, and theorize it was the federal agents.

The Garcias were investigated and apprehended by the DEA's Northern New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force (HIDTA), which was one part of Streamline. On Jan. 8, a federal grand jury in Newark returned indictments against the Garcias and six residents of Cali, Colombia, all on conspiracy to import and distribute heroin.

"The significance of this investigation is that HIDTA dismantled a major heroin distribution organization in New Jersey and other states, but we were able to arrest the heads of the organization operating in Cali," Michael Pasterchick, head of the Newark DEA, said.

The six Cali residents will be extradited to New Jersey.

Operation Streamline was announced jointly by U.S attorneys in three states and DEA Administrator Karen P. Tandy in Washington.

The operation, which commenced in early 2002, originally targeted the Miami-based Orlando Ospina drug organization, and the trail took investigators to Charlotte, N.C., Newark, New York, Philadelphia, and also Argentina, Colombia and Nicaragua. Orlando and Carlos Ospina were arrested by DEA agents in Florida in May 2003.

The traffickers, Tandy said, used traditional and nontraditional smuggling routes and methods in and out of the U.S.

For example, they smuggled approximately 220 pounds of heroin over three months from Cali to Nicaragua by inserting heroin in drinking straws and placing them in boxes of seafood.

From Nicaragua, the shipments were sent to a seafood company in Miami, where they were unpacked by Orlando Ospina's operatives, who then sent the units to New York City for further distribution.

Internal body couriers, sometimes called "mules," also were used to smuggle drugs from Cali and Bogota, Colombia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, to major East Coast cities.

Money from the drug deals then was sent from the United States back to Colombia, also using a variety of techniques, Tandy said.

One method, the investigators found, was human couriers swallowing paper bills. The couriers would down $100 bills that were rolled into a cylinder shape and pressed. Most of the couriers were able to swallow 1,000 of the bills, a load of $100,000 in their stomach per trip.

The Cali dealers also operated a check-cashing business there that could launder about $25,000 a day, and the traffickers also used Western Union wire transfers to send drug money in $1,000 increments from the U.S. to Colombia.

"Drug trafficking reaches across international boundaries and jurisdictions. Law enforcement must do the same," Tandy said in a statement.

"As drug cartels are forced to be more creative in their methods of smuggling drugs and cash, the DEA's techniques at catching them are too," New Jersey U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie said.
