A man wanted in a Berks County quadruple murder was apprehended by FBI agents in Florida after nearly two years on the lam, according to authorities.
An FBI Tampa SWAT team on Tuesday apprehended Pedro Sanchez-Laporte at a home in Lake Alfred, Florida, Michael Driscoll, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division, and Berks County District Attorney John Adams announced.
Sanchez-Laporte was allegedly a member of the Trinidad Drug Trafficking Organization, a violent Berks County drug dealing organization responsible for six murders in six weeks in Reading, including the 2018 quadruple homicide, LehighValleyLive reports.
Despite the fact that ten people were charged in connection with the crimes, Sanchez-Laporte has been on the run since 2019.
