Mother's Day Drug Raid.
Upon arriving to open the Disc Exchange this morning, we found our parking lot full of of authoritative type individuals, both of the local and federal type. Apparently Los Arcos was running a cocaine ring and the big bust went down today. Hmmm, no surprise to us.
I'd heard a while back that they supplied tortillas to a lot of the other restaurants in town. When tortillas are made by outlaws. . .
I gotta go corner the market!
sudo open the pod bay doors, HAL.
So Los Arcos = Los Narcos?

Wow.
And interesting that the article says that Los Arcos was there since "at least last year." Seems like it first opened there about five years ago.
Interesting on how long it took for this story to break in the news. After finding out all that they were charged for, I am glad that I didn't complain to them about having to clean their mess out of our parking lot on Sunday mornings. I might have been mowed down by one of their machine-gun-toting comrades.
I thought that was a weird news lag as well, given the scale of the operation.
It appears that the local newspaper skipped the raid and just went with court activity, which seems very bizarre to me.
They need to put another Chinese restaurant in that space!

Very true. I have thinking that very same thing since the sting went down.Originally Posted by F-Stop
