San Diego police Chief David Nisleit said Operation Red Rider began with complaints and tips about drug trafficking at a house in North Clairemont
A 10-month, San Diego police-led operation resulted in 71 arrests in a case they said took down a network of criminals with ties to White supremacist groups, officials announced Tuesday.
As part of the operation, police seized seven guns and 530 rounds of ammunition, as well as seven pounds of methamphetamine, nine ounces of fentanyl powder, six ounces of heroin, four ounces of ketamine and 1,000 counterfeit oxycodone pills. They also recovered 24 stolen vehicles and found an illegal butane honey oil lab.
“This operation is yet another example of how law enforcement responds when the community calls for help,” Stephan said. Nisleit and Stephan said the criminal network operated so-called trap houses, or drug houses, at the locations.
