SWEEP NETS DRUGS IN DELANO

The Sheriff’s special enforcement gang unit was part of a huge drug bust in Delano that led to arrests. Deputies teamed with CALMMET, the state’s anti-meth task force, and the Tri-County High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area team to raid locations on Belmont Street between 6th and 7th streets on Tuesday. Officers seized eight pounds of meth, three pounds of heroin plus rock cocaine, a loaded gun and cash. Charges against Hector Avelar and Sergio Millan include providing a controlled substance to a minor on school grounds.
