The infamous Los Amor Cartel, a criminal organisation known for its violent legacy in New Haven County, appears to be making its presence known in Clark County. Their arrival has sparked widespread concern, raising questions about their intentions and potential impact on the community.
Los Amor’s reputation includes violent pursuits, shootouts, and car bombings, leaving a legacy of fear in their wake. Now, with reports of their activities emerging in Clark County, residents are bracing for the possibility of history repeating itself.
Journalist RobertSabbatini recently had the chance to meet three alleged high-ranking members of the cartel, including Tomasitom and rrip140, who offered a rare glimpse into their operations. Tomasitom shared:
“Every high command in the cartel has been an officer at least once, including all three of us that you met today. We are a criminal organization that indulges in business in both the professional setting as well as the street settings. We do well in both while constantly seeking improvement in our criminal method ways, giving the combination sense of a cartel and mafia. We construct a unique system of operations that seems to fit well within the economy of Clark.”
These remarks highlight the cartel’s adaptability and sophistication. By combining professional business strategies with street-level criminal activity, Los Amor has positioned itself as a hybrid entity – a cartel-mafia mix – capable of operating in multiple areas simultaneously.
Tomasitom further elaborated on their approach:
“We have connections with directors of departments, and they do help fund us with millions if we asked, but we prefer to make our own money from scratch. I’m working on a business to open that will fund the cartel. We’re big on convoys, protection while crafting drugs. We pay our members amazingly, but we’re way more deep on the loyalty than money.”
This dual focus on loyalty and economic integration suggests a calculated effort to embed their operations within the community, potentially making it more challenging to identify and counter their influence.
Clark County on Edge
With just a few weeks since their reported arrival, the full extent of the cartel’s intentions remains unclear. Will they bring the same level of disruption as in New Haven County, or are they seeking a quieter foothold in Clark?
The cartel’s past in New Haven County suggests a capacity for violence and chaos, but their emphasis on loyalty and business integration hints at a more refinement approach. Residents are left wondering whether their presence will lead to disruption or if their operations will remain under the radar.
A Plan for Re-Industrialisation
Adding to the revelations, rrip140 disclosed one of the cartel’s strategic initiatives:
“A plan of ours I’m willing to talk about is how we’ll be re-industrialising the market of the drugs we call Jar, Gushie, and Nopy.”
This statement underscores the cartel’s ambitions to solidify and expand its operations within the local economy. Re-industrialising the market for these substances suggests a focus on production, distribution, and establishing dominance in their trade. Such efforts could pose significant challenges for local authorities and heighten the risk of community harm.
By openly discussing this plan, the cartel appears confident in its ability to operate with minimal interference. This development further emphasises the need for vigilance and decisive action from the community and government.
Unanswered Questions
As of now, there are no clear indications of how authorities plan to address this potential threat. The presence of a criminal organisation with the experience and reach of Los Amor raises serious concerns, yet the government’s response remains uncertain.
Mayflower Public Broadcasting Service will continue to investigate this developing story, seeking answers to the pressing questions on the minds of Clark County residents:
- What are Los Amor’s true intentions in Clark County?
- How will their operations impact the local community and economy?
- Will the chaos of New Haven County repeat itself here?
Hope or Harm?
While the cartel’s leaders hint at an interest in operating businesses and contributing to the local economy, skepticism remains high. Their track record of violence and criminal activities casts a long shadow over any claims of legitimacy.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the Los Amor Cartel’s true intentions in Clark County. Will they bring disruption and fear, or will their operations remain under the radar? MPBS will continue to follow this developing story and provide the latest updates as the situation unfolds.
Although only three individuals are featured in the photos in this article, the Los Amor Cartel’s current membership is estimated to range between 20 to 30 members.
