ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —

A months-long operation by the New Mexico State Police resulted in seven arrests, along with the seizure of some methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and firearms.

The NMSP Crime Suppression Bureau's goal was to identify and apprehend people involved in the distribution of controlled substances in Albuquerque.

CSB agents made controlled purchases of illegal drugs, which led to the execution of arrest and search warrants on Aug. 5 and 7, assisted by an NMSP tactical team.

These resulted in arrests of Sean Montoya, 22, Johnny Pacheco, 27, Alexa Gonzalez Cruz, 19, Thoumas Chandler, 26, Joseph Montoya, 21, Andre Padilla, 32, and Carlo Guillen, 24. All were charged with trafficking controlled substances, among other charges.
