Gwinnett police make drug bust

A street-level drug investigation in Gwinnett County led to a bust that netted a pile of methamphetamine and cocaine.

Police arrested Bonnie A. Sanchez and Jose D. Luviano-Silva, both 35, at a home in the 2400 block of Wagon Wheel Trace in Duluth, according to an incident report obtained Tuesday.

The arrest on Sept. 8  netted 1.6 grams of cocaine and 117 grams of methamphetamine, the report said.

A third suspect, Ivan Sotelo-Tinoco, 22, ran away and was still on the loose, Cpl. Brian Kelly told the AJC Tuesday afternoon.

The drug purchase by an undercover officer led police to knock on the door at the home and eventually to seek a search warrant, the report said.
