According to a recent press release from the U.S. Department of Justice, Californians can sleep a little easier thanks to the brave work of federal and local cops who dismantled a criminal organization in San Diego County. Ryan L. Korner, the special agent in charge of the IRS-Criminal Investigation office in Los Angeles, says the gangsters who pleaded guilty to federal felonies last week didn't care "how their actions negatively impact innocent people, the community, or our society." Chula Vista Police Chief Roxana Kennedy says such criminals "pose a significant health and safety hazard to the public, especially our youth."
But not to worry. Kelly A. Martinez, undersheriff of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, declares that "East San Diego County is safer today because of this hard work." Stacey Moy, the special agent in charge at the FBI's San Diego field office, wants you to know that "the FBI is committed to keeping our communities safe from the vast array of violent crimes and criminal activity which accompanies these illegal establishments."
