FIVE ARRESTED IN DRUG RAID

A methamphetamine lab was broken up Tuesday, and five people, including a
17-year-old boy, were arrested during a raid at a Delano home, authorities
said.

About 20 agents from the new Fresno Methamphetamine Task Force served a
search warrant at a home at 2326 Round St. about 6 p.m. Monday, Sgt. Rick
Hill said.

Two pounds of methamphetamine were seized along with 11 cases of
pseudoephedrine, one of the main ingredients needed for the production of
methamphetamine, Hill said.

Taken into custody were Refugio Mariscal Jr., 20; Ramiro Orozco, 21; Noel
Duran, 26; Monica Acosta, 18; and the 17-year-old. The juvenile was
identified as a cousin of one of the suspects.
