Phoenix Group 16 Dealers task force tracks Mexican supplier’s shipment to truck in parking lot of Arizona business

 
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A Phoenix-based police task force has arrested two alleged drug dealers and seized 41.5 pounds of fentanyl pills hidden in a pickup driving around a commercial parking lot.

The Sept. 7 arrest of Jesus Aaron Garcia and Benjamin Andres Contreras Pena in the parking lot of a West Phoenix business was the end result of the investigation of a Mexican supplier trying to “move” his product in Arizona.

Court records show a confidential informant notified the Phoenix Group 16 Dealers task force about a Mexican supplier trying to sell him 130,000 fentanyl pills at a wholesale price of about $290,000. The Drug Enforcement Administration-led task force monitored the transaction as the supplier directed the informant to one of his alleged distributors in the area.
