Nearly 20 Pounds Of Cocaine Confiscated By Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Deputies, Suspect Arrested


A suspect was arrested by Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s deputies during a crime suppression operation Wednesday after he was allegedly in possession of almost 20 pounds of cocaine.

On Wednesday, a crime suppression operation was conducted by the Special Assignment Team (SAT) throughout the City of Santa Clarita, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

The operation “led to the arrest of a male adult after he was found in possession of approximately 9 kilos of cocaine and a counterfeit residency card,” Arriaga said.

9 kilos of cocaine is equivalent to approximately 19 pounds.

Karim Zepeda-Martinez, 32, from Union City, California was arrested for transportation of a controlled substance for sales and forgery of a government seal, both felonies, Arriaga added.

Zepeda-Martinez was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail with bail set at $0, according to arrest records.
