On Wednesday evening, January 23, 2013, Sheriff's Operation Safe Streets Bureau – Asian Gang Team investigators intercepted a narcotic transaction at a strip mall parking lot in the 18900 block of Gale Avenue in the unincorporated area of Rowland Heights.
The two suspects arrested in the alleged illegal transaction were Denis Lam (20) and Ruoyu Mike Dong (22), both of Arcadia . They are members of a well-known Asian street gang.
According to investigators, Lam and Dong hired Suspect Juan Carlos Cabrales (23) of Azusa to act as a “runner” to deliver 1000 Ecstasy pills in the form of “Mollies” to a buyer in exchange for $5000. Cabrales was arrested by investigators before the transaction was completed. Soon after he was arrested, Lam and Dong, who were monitoring the transaction nearby, were located by the investigators and arrested as well.
Investigators continued their investigation and worked throughout the night to secure a search warrant for the homes of Lam and Dong in the unincorporated area of Arcadia.
Inside Lam’s home, investigators found a small but functional indoor Marijuana grow. Several Marijuana plants and cultivation equipment were seized.
“Mollies” are Ecstasy pills or MDMA made into powder form and placed into capsules. (See picture by clicking on hyperlink at the bottom of the message)
