On Friday, March 7, the Rhino Times published an article expressing amazement at the vast amount of cocaine that had been seized by law enforcement authorities in Greensboro and Guilford after three arrests in as many weeks had taken millions of dollars of cocaine off the streets.
Just hours after that article was published, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office announced that, in January 2025, deputies with the Sheriff’s Office’s VICE/Narcotics Unit – working alongside the Greensboro Police Department, the Eden Police Department, the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) – had conducted a narcotics investigation that resulted in the seizure of 161 kilograms of cocaine.
That’s 355 pounds of it.
The Sheriff’s Office estimated the street value of the seized cocaine to be roughly $16.1 million.
Fabian Nicolas Camarena-Alvarado, 25, is currently being held under a federal indictment without bond for drug-related charges.
The Sheriff’s Office stated on March 7 that the investigation remains an active one and no further details will be provided at this time.
It’s not clear why the massive January haul is only being publicized now, in March; however, it is conceivable that some of the recent trafficking arrests could be related – though that is simply speculation.

Gosh Chris looks like all of the ILLEGALS you champion for are trying hard to start their own drug empire here in Guilford County. All 3 cocaine busts were all Illegals. You must be so proud
Also Chris I used a broad brush on this comment
Funny. The article said nothing about is citizenship. Guess anyone with a Hispanic name is an illegal to you? Hmmmmm.
Care to make a small wager Chris
Sure
Chris since I have an unfair advantage over you in this I can’t in good conscience take advantage of you. Mr Alvarado is indeed an Illegal
Gibbs Rules…Rule #39: “There is no such thing as coincidences.”
Upvote for the NCIS reference!

Mr. Camarena-Alvarado. Enough said.
There’s a pattern here, but Leftists won’t admit it because they can’t accept reality, on this issue or any other.
Chase Stephens isn’t Hispanic. Is that what you are going on about?
You are 100% correct Austin. They refuse to accept it even when it slaps them in the face
Austin, ICE reported to Congress in July 2024 that they had identified 435,000 Illegals in the US with criminal convictions. Can’t wait to see how Chris takes up for them
The LEFT wants control, so the destruction of our Republic.
We can only help in the deconstruction of govt waste & corruption. At least this President is making the effort, although the job will take many more than 4 years.
With a recession, the President will lose the House; so he may have less than two years. The Democrat Playbook, look it up online. The LEFT WANTS the current administration to fail.
Great job now start enforcing the trrafic laws. GSO needs the broken window approach.
I wish our Sherriff looked more professional.
