SEP 17 (SAN DIEGO)

Nine people are in custody following DEA’s takedown of Operation Shattered Dreams. Warrants served in San Diego, Spring Valley, Chula Vista, and El Cajon are the conclusion of a year-long undercover drug operation. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) served numerous search warrants from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 16, 2014, which resulted in the seizure of multiple active Butane Hash Oil Laboratories. There was a large quantity of Hash Oil seized, along with over $25,000.00 in U.S. currency, an assault rifle, along with marijuana necessary to make Hash Oil, and Hash Oil packaged for sale. One gram of Hash Oil sells for $40.00 to $80.00 making the trafficking of Hash Oil extremely profitable.
