Police conducting a sting operation arrested 12 suspected drug dealers Thursday.
Undercover officers bought about 5 pounds of methamphetamine from several suspects at Charleston and Lamb boulevards, Metro Police said. Once the drugs were purchased, the multijurisdictional task force moved in on five locations and made the arrests.
Officers seized 21.1 pounds of methamphetamine, 25.3 grams of cocaine and 5.6 ounces of marijuana, police said.
Among the people arrested were:
• Jorge Alejandro Acosta, 22, of North Las Vegas
• Manuel Cardusorafael, 23, of North Las Vegas
• Guadalupe Tamayo, 26, of North Las Vegas
• Edgar Robles, 24, of North Las Vegas
• Roberto Nabarro, also known as Jesus Delbalt-Garcia, 29, of Las Vegas
• Fabian Sarmiento, 19, of North Las Vegas
• Claudia Madrid-Valdez, 30, of Las Vegas
• Lleimmy Madrid-Valdez, 22, of Las Vegas
• Jonathan Vega, 19, of Las Vegas
The arrests were made in the 4200 block of Middlesex Avenue, the 4700 block of Lucite Lane, the 2200 block of Daley Street in North Las Vegas, the 1500 block of South Christy Lane and the 3300 block of South Arville Street.
Three other people were arrested on federal charges.
Looks like profiling.
Nice job. They all sound like upstanding citizens. Not.
Walter White is still on the loose.
Nice bust!
Now let's give the Sherriff his money to hire more police officers to sweep the rest of this rubbish back to Canada!
Good work Metro finally hitting the meth maggots.Now send em all back to Mexico.
Keep going, this is the tip of the iceberg! Vegas is going to Hell faster than anyone can stop it.
Buzzbomb-May be it isn' profiling, maybe it's the fact that we have a large hispanic population that deals drugs. Get over it.
Leave them alone. They just came here for a better life..
Too bad the US exported all the jobs to China so greed corporation and their executives could make billions of dollars.
Many if the US still had good paying jobs, these people would not be selling drugs to make a living.
Of course, now the taxpayers have to take care of these people in jail at $40,000 per year.
A job making $40,000 per year would be a better deal for us all.
This is what we're spending our taxes on: law enforcement to round 'em up, lawyers to publicly "defend" them, courts, prisons to turn 'em lose so law enforcement can round 'em up again. Oh Ja, this is after we spend about $200K per to K-12 'em.
If profiling works, let's do MORE PROFILING.
They were selling Coke, Meth, and Pot.....is it really profiling if the people had the drugs on them? No, it's called breaking the law.
Good job metro. If only metro could get to the impetus and find where the Meth and Coke is coming from that would help eradicate the problem long term.
If these are found to be criminal invaders as suspected above then if they are convicted the need to be given lethal injection so as to make sure they don't do it again.
Over 21.1 Pounds of meth siezed. Over 5 pounds purchased. This was no small time operation and is actually a nice bust for metro and dea. With that amount of wieght, I'm sure there are some higher-ups that lost a lot of cash on this deal. However, these people that are caught are most likely foot soldiers and are already being replaced. The real crooks at the top are still roaming free I bet, just a little more carefull.
Vegas Bike, LMAO good one
There just doing the jobs americans won't do.
Good Job, Metro!!!
Way to go Metro!!! Las Vegas is now drug free!!! Well for at least an hour or so in that one area...it's not the supply folks-its the demand.
don't worry about that marijuana, that's innocuous...
get rid of that meth....that's some bad stuff, man!
