Authorities nab 2 Carpentersville men, 16 kilos of cocaine

Two Carpentersville men are facing charges resulting from a raid earlier this week netting 16 kilos of drugs, authorities said.

The Kane County Heroin Initiative Task Force spearheaded a monthlong investigation into a local narcotics distribution network. On Thursday, authorities raided a Lake in the Hills warehouse, seizing about 16 kilos of suspected cocaine with an estimated street value of $512,000.

Ivan A. Moreno-Gollegos, 18, and Juan C. Sanchez-Cacho, 40, both from the 2300 block of Arrow Street, were charged with one count each of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

The investigation was conducted in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration's Chicago Office, Kane and McHenry counties sheriff's offices, and the McHenry County States Attorney's Office.
