Traffickers def having to change things up due to lockdowns.
Seeing more 'appliance' runs as well as mowers being used on flatbeds and all modified for liquid meth as well as wrapped powders.
Look for the local pot harvests (ongoing as it is a two grow season year again this year) to be delivered in rental vans and loads of junk on flatbeds pulled by pickups.
The local kidnapper car has been parked for days at a nearby stash house: the women are driving a silver SUV with no front plates and a paper tag on the back.
Quite a few arrests at the top and it appears a good chunk of the assets are being ID'd for confiscation. Numerous arrests with the bottom feeders but alas none of the arrests are occurring in the HIDTA county this particular transnational trafficking org calls 'home.'
No, the local badge flashers continue to arrest drug users and place the children of the users with corrupt child protective services NGOs.
Still trying to determine how many local TDO members are 'foster parents.'
Seems the businesses used for money laundering are also facing a dilemma ie how to show a steady income when 'customers' are broke and 'businesses' are closed.
So one answer is to spend tons of cash building underground facilities that TDO members 'own' by a company that hires 'la familia' members.
Any regular joe out there considering hiring a company to build your bolthole should always remember the workers will know the details of the job.
If the bunker builder just so happens to be a money laundering front for a TDO … What could go wrong?
