Heroin and cocaine were smuggled in altered BMWs. South Gate ring leader pleads guilty

A South Gate man pleaded guilty Friday, May 10 to leading a drug trafficking ring that imported narcotics from Mexico and used modified BMWs with hidden compartments to distribute the drugs throughout the country.

He also orchestrated the cross-border caravans using couriers to bring narcotics into the country from Mexico, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that when law enforcement served a warrant at his home in September 2019, he set fire to paperwork inside the home and broke cellphones and other digital devices in an effort to destroy evidence.
