Federal agents and police arrested 31 people in a drug sting Wednesday, including a man alleged to be the leader of a Mexican Mafia-linked gang that trafficked in methamphetamine.
Agents took Richard Gastelum, 29, into custody at his home Wednesday and served warrants on other members of a San Gabriel Valley-based gang and a Long Beach-area gang. The suspects have been indicted on various drug charges and are being held in Los Angeles.
