\"FBI<\/a>OHIO<\/strong> – Three Mexican nationals were named in a 24-count indictment charging them with selling black tar heroin across Northern Ohio, federal officials said.<\/p>\n

Victor Morales-Garcia<\/strong>, 38, of Columbus, Mario Perez Sanchez<\/strong>, age unknown, and Pedro Ortega-Gomez<\/strong>, 36, both of Madison, Ohio, are charged with conspiring to sell black tar heroin in Lake, Cuyahoga, Erie and Huron counties<\/strong>, officials stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a drug trafficking group whose tentacles spread from Mexico to all over Northern Ohio,\u201d U.S. Attorney\u00a0Steven M. Dettelbach<\/strong> said. \u201cThey preyed on people for profit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u00a0men had customers \u00a0from Huron County who travelled on a daily basis to buy heroin.<\/p>\n

Most of these sales took place between the far west suburbs of Cuyahoga County to Painesville in Lake County, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

This group used numerous men as drug couriers to deliver the heroin to customers. Many of these couriers were brought\u00a0illegally to the United States from the Nayarit\/Tepic area of Mexico<\/strong> to the Painesville area with the promise of working on a farm or in an automobile garage, officials said.<\/p>\n

Once in Ohio, these individuals became couriers for the drug trafficking group, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

On April 6, authorities said law enforcement officials stopped a car being driven by Gomez and discovered a large bag of heroin, all individually packaged in small balloons. Subsequent searches led to the discovery of a .22-caliber revolver, numerous wire transfer receipts showing thousands of dollars being wired to Mexico, drug ledgers and cash, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese three defendants operated a revolving door distribution center of black tar heroin,\u201d Stephen D. Anthony, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI\u2019s Cleveland Office<\/strong> said. \u201cThis is another great example of the tireless, collaborative efforts by the Northern Ohio Law Enforcement Task Force to take suppliers of dangerous narcotics off our streets. \u201c<\/p>\n

Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.<\/p>\n
