Officials today said they dealt a major blow to a methamphetamine trafficking ring suspected of moving up to 50 pounds of the drug into Colorado in common car batteries.

The ring leaders were brothers — Gabriel Farias-Chavez, 27, and Ramon Chavez, 30 — who allegedly were responsible for importing as much as 30 to 50 pounds of meth per month directly from Mexico into the Denver-metro area and Larimer County, said Sgt. Gary Shaklee of the Northern Colorado Drug Task Force.
