At dawn in Los Angeles, federal authorities launched a coordinated sweep that reportedly stopped 500 taxis simultaneously across multiple locations.

What appeared to be an ordinary morning commute quickly turned into one of the city’s most ambitious enforcement actions in recent memory.

Agents say the operation led to the seizure of 6.8 tons of suspected illicit substances, alleging the taxis were used as part of a sophisticated distribution strategy designed to avoid detection by blending into everyday traffic. 📦💊

Investigators describe the case as a significant disruption of an alleged cartel-linked network that may have operated quietly for years.

Officials emphasize that the investigation is ongoing, with further arrests and formal charges expected as evidence is processed. ⚖️
