WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (ABC4) — Detectives have uncovered a new international criminal organization in Utah, allegedly involved in trafficking illegal narcotics and laundering money. The group bears a familiar name.

Detectives with the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force have reportedly been investigating a drug trafficking organization known as “Pablo,” who they believe bring large amounts of illegal narcotics to the Wasatch Front.

‘Controlled buys’

After months of investigation, detectives arranged to buy product from members of the organization in multiple “controlled buys.”

During the buys, police say they were able to identify a dispatcher, trafficker, and up to four runners, all of whom were affiliated with the group.

One runner was identified as Noe Rolón Estrada, 40, who would carry out operations in a silver Hyundai Elantra with a temporary tag.

Street value of illegal narcotics

After executing a search warrant on Estrada’s West Valley residents, police uncovered 41 grams of Heroin and 470 grams of Methamphetamine, documents claim.

According to a United Nations report, the street value of meth can range between $20 and $40 per gram. Heroin ranges between $150 to $500 per gram.

The approximate worth of the paraphernalia found at Estrada’s home is an estimated minimum of $22,000.

Alleged money laundering

Documents show wire transfer receipts were also located at the home.

According to police, “Pablo” has a history of alleged illicit money laundering activities involving illegal money transfers to Mexico.

Officers say Estrada admitted to earning about $800 and wiring the money back to the organization in Mexico.

Police booked Estrada into the Salt Lake County Jail on a request he be held without bail. He faces multiple second-degree felony charges including possession with intent to distribute an illegal substance and money laundering.
