Score one for the good guys smile

By Ian Bush and Todd Quinones


WEST CHESTER, Pa. (CBS) — Chester County’s district attorney calls it the biggest drug bust in county history — the result of a take-down of a cartel distributing cocaine throughout the region and across the country.

DA Tom Hogan says the operation, dubbed “Operation Spider Web,” netted $60 million worth of coke with a street value several times greater, from a Mexican drug operation running a 20-year business out of a house in East Marlbourogh Township.

Forty-four people are in custody, including those whom DA Hogan calls the “leaders” of the Lemus family drug trafficking organization. Hogan says the gang was helmed by Salvador Lemus, nicknamed “El Viejo” (“the old one”), whom authorities say led a gang that wouldn’t think twice about killing anyone from those who cooperate with law enforcement, to cops, and the rest of us.

“These are groups that kill cops, kill prosecutors, kill judges and don’t think twice about killing civilians,” Hogan said.

Here in the quaint town of Kennett Square, Leon Spencer serves as borough council president.

The alleged cartel connected drug ring operated throughout southern Chester County for the past 20 years.

“It goes to show how strong the cartel is unfortunately and how they can penetrate any area they desire to penetrate,” Spencer said.

Hogan says distributors in the cocaine trafficking network sought cover in regular day jobs.

“These guys are going to be working in mushroom houses. They are going to be working in blue collar jobs. They are going to be working in auto repair shops. They are going to be working in landscaping jobs during the day,” Hogan said.

Hogan says Lemus stayed under the radar by running a landscaping company out of Maryland. He says Salvador Lemus’ son and nephew served as lieutenants, keeping the drugs moving while the boss wintered in Mexico, sticking close to the powerful “La Familia” cartel.

Starting about a year ago through undercover work, the use of informants and surveillance, investigators were able to build their case which led to Wednesday’s announcement which took some residents by surprise.

“Very safe area. Obviously you have your stories of some activities, but nothing to this scope,” Kennett Square resident Mark Lawler said.

The DA says a dozen more warrants were still out in this crackdown, which he believes will echo down to Mexico with a warning for the cartels that try to fill the Lemus void in Chester County: the law is going to get you, too.

Lemus’s bail has been set at $1 million cash.

Merlino, It wouldn't surprise me if one of them ratted. This guys bail is kind of low isn't considering size of this? This guy has probably got $5 million buried in the back yard.

no.. loll! was just curious... also I wonder if the 3 ladies in San Antonio that got their throats slashed inside their home were mules for the Mexican Mafia? It's a border state so that was my first thought

In Philadelphia when I was younger, and probably still today there was a lot of cheap cocaine and heroin. A lot of people I grew up with got quickly addicted to one, or both. Some got completely sober, and others did not and died/overdosed. May they rest in peace.

I agree... I know it sounds terrible but I'd rather have someone addicted to the pills than shooting up... thankfully I never even SAW any drugs till I was 19 then I saw weed for the first time... it was the rich kids from the private catholic high school that had the funds and access to the drugs...

Some people IV the pills. It's stupid and very dangerous to do; but people do it.

Merlino,

Its a shame whats happened with the pain pill epidemic, and the harder law enforcement clamps down on pill mills the more these young kids turn to heroin.I feel very sad for the parents who are losing their children to this poison.I remember 50 years ago when I was a kid my Mom saying that drugs was going to ruin this country and she was right.
