Yesterday, the Gang Suppression Unit travelled to Orange Walk and Biscayne Village, where they claim to have busted several gang figures in illicit activities.
It started at around 5:30 a.m. at the San Lorenzo Housing Site in Orange Walk Town. The house belongs to 23 year-old Lyndon Heredia, and according to the GSU, he was present at the time along with 17 year-old minor, 21 year-old Michael Anthony Cambranes, and 19 year-old Jose Ochoa.
The search led to the discovery of a very minor amount of cannabis, 2.6 grammes, which was found in a room which Cambranes and the 17 year-old minor were occupying. As a result, both of them were jointly arrested and charged with possession of controlled drugs.
Later in the morning, Cambranes pleaded guilty and was fined $505 dollars. He was able to pay it, and the charge was withdrawn against the 17 year-old minor.
Later in the day, after the search, the GSU team followed the homeowner, Heredia who was driving a red Ford Mustang on San Andres Street.
Because he couldn't produce a driver's license, and the vehicle didn't have insurance, he was charged with driving a motor vehicle without a valid driver's license, and using a motor vehicle not covered by third party insurance?
According to GSU, they targeted Herredia because he is a reputed affiliate of the Ghost Town Crips Gang.
At around 1:05 p.m. yesterday, the GSU team returning from Orange Walk Town, stopped in at Biscayne, and they detained 22 year-old Randy Dominguez, a man who was wanted since December of last year when four 16-gauge shotgun cartridges were found at his Biscayne Village house.
Yesterday, they charged him with keeping unlicensed ammunition; according to the GSU, he is a reputed affiliate of the George Street Gang.
After that, the GSU team left Biscayne and went to Sand Hill village, where they conducted a search at an open lot near the 19 Miles Supermarket.
They officers found 24 small parcels of foil paper which was hidden inside a Big H Juice container. The parcels held a total of 51 grams of cannabis, which was deposited as found property.
The GSU believes that it belongs to a reputed drug peddler of Sand Hill Village.
