Seven members of a “crime family” in the East Bay were arrested on suspicion of supplying a stream of illegal drugs to the Tenderloin neighborhood, a bust that involved wiretaps, undercover agents and a seizure of 10 pounds of fentanyl, U.S. Attorney David Anderson announced Wednesday.
Anderson said a ring led by Emilson “Playboy” Cruz Mayorquin, 23, and his mother, 42-year-old Leydis Cruz, allegedly commuted to the Tenderloin daily from their East Bay homes to sell fentanyl and other drugs to both dealers and users. Seven of the eight people arrested in the recent bust had family ties, officials said.
