La DEA aseguró más de 280 libras de metanfetamina, cuatro libras de fentanilo y dos armas durante redadas en el área metropolitana de Atlanta
ATLANTA, Georgia. Golpe al narcotráfico al decomisar más de 280 libras de metanfetamina, 4 de fentanilo y dos armas de fuego presuntamente poseídas de manera ilegal.
Las autoridades informaron que entre los detenidos se encuentra Silvano Mendoza Valencia, ciudadano mexicano señalado por permanecer ilegalmente en Estados Unidos.
Así como Christian Garcia Esparza, residente de Austell, y Robert Louis Burr, un delincuente convicto con antecedentes por tráfico de drogas y armas, informa el FBI.
Golpe al narcotráfico en Atlanta deja tres detenidos
De acuerdo con la Fiscalía Federal para el Distrito Norte de Georgia, la investigación permitió desmantelar las operaciones de los tres presuntos distribuidores de drogas.
Las investigaciones revelan que el 21 de julio de 2026, agentes de la DEA arrestaron a Silvano Mendoza-Valencia en Morrow, Georgia, después de que presuntamente vendiera cerca de dos libras de metanfetamina.
Durante un cateo en su domicilio localizaron aproximadamente 85 libras de metanfetamina y dos libras de fentanilo en una habitación.
Las autoridades también señalaron que Mendoza-Valencia es presuntamente un ciudadano mexicano que se encuentra ilegalmente en Estados Unidos.
Un día después, el 22 de julio, agentes federales detuvieron a Christian García Esparza en Austell, tras una presunta venta de más de seis libras de metanfetamina.
En el vehículo encontraron otras diez libras de la droga y posteriormente realizaron un cateo en su vivienda.
Dentro de la propiedad aseguraron alrededor de 100 libras adicionales de metanfetamina, distribuidas en distintas habitaciones y en el patio.
Fentanilo, metanfetamina y armas en College Park
Ese mismo día, agentes federales ejecutaron una orden de cateo en un apartamento de College Park, donde fue detenido Robert Louis Burr.
Las autoridades localizaron dos libras de fentanilo, además de 50 libras de metanfetamina almacenadas en una maleta y bolsas.
Durante el operativo también aseguraron dos armas de fuego, entre ellas una pistola semiautomática FN57 cargada con municiones perforantes.
La Fiscalía indicó que Burr tenía antecedentes por delitos graves relacionados con narcóticos y armas, por lo que legalmente no podía poseer armamento.
Los tres permanecen bajo custodia federal
Los tres acusados enfrentan cargos por conspiración y posesión con intención de distribuir sustancias controladas.
Actualmente permanecen bajo custodia del Servicio de Alguaciles de Estados Unidos (U.S. Marshals) mientras continúan los procedimientos judiciales.
Las autoridades recordaron que las denuncias penales representan únicamente acusaciones y que los imputados son considerados inocentes hasta que un tribunal determine su responsabilidad.
Operación Take Back America
La investigación fue encabezada por la Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) con apoyo de múltiples agencias policiales de Georgia, incluyendo departamentos de policía de Alpharetta, Marietta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Cobb County, Clayton County, Gwinnett County, Georgia Bureau of Investigation y el U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
El caso forma parte de la estrategia federal Operation Take Back America, iniciativa del Departamento de Justicia enfocada en combatir organizaciones criminales transnacionales, el tráfico de drogas y otros delitos federales.
