LAWRENCE, Mass. — Six men are facing drug trafficking charges after a lengthy investigation revealed they used the United States Postal Service to move packages of cocaine from Puerto Rico to cities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, authorities announced Tuesday.
Delvin Castillo Portorreal, 42, Jose Ynoa Ynfante, 36, Maribi Garcia, 28, Elio Omar Cabrera Lopez, 27, Ernesto Valerio, 24, and Angel Miguel Marte Ruiz, 21, were each indicted by a Hillsborough County Grand jury on one count of conspiracy to possess a controlled drug with intent to distribute, according to New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella.
An investigation conducted by the United States Postal Inspection found that over the course of 21 months, Ynfante, Garcia, Lopez, Valerio, and Ruiz repeatedly collected packages containing “multiple kilograms” of cocaine, which were mailed from Puerto Rico to Nashua, Formella’s office said.
