This Delicious Looking Taco Truck Was Also Home To Colorado's Biggest Meth Dealers

CBS - Authorities have made one of the largest-ever single methamphetamine busts in Colorado history. The Colorado Attorney General’s Office announced on Monday that 17 people were indicted by a grand jury for operating a network that sold meth in the Denver-metro area. The sting was called “Operation Cargo.” “The 64-count indictment alleges charges that include violations of the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act, possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, conspiracy, money laundering, and tax evasion,” the Attorney General’s Office said in a statement. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, West Metro Drug Task Force, Adams County District Attorney’s Office, Thornton Police Department and Denver Police Department assisted in the bust. “After conducting five wiretaps over five weeks, 55 pounds of meth were taken off the streets,” Attorney General John Suthers said. “The brazenness of this ring was astounding. For example, customers could literally walk up to a food truck and order a side of meth with their taco.”

The ol’ Gus Fring model of selling meth. Open a fast food place, make meth, profit. Tried and true. What’s pathetic is they only had 55 pounds. What a joke operation. Go rob a train, you softies. 55 pounds is hardly a shipment. While I still appreciate a good meth ring, but 17 people were arrested in this one. That’s absurd. You don’t need 17 people to move 55 pounds. That just makes you a shitty drug dealer. And also, let’s re-read that one part. “For example, customers could literally walk up to a food truck and order a side of meth with their taco.” That’s amazing. I don’t know if it’s the best way to move drugs, or worst way. No code words. No hand signals. It’s “uhhhhh, 2 carnitas, 1 steak…no no, is the barbacoa good? Ok 2 carnitas, 1 barbacoa, and a diet coke…and yes, thank you for asking, 1 meth please.” Can’t imagine how they got caught.
