Charges in a 221-count grand jury indictment were announced Monday regarding Mountain View grocery store which officials say became a haven for alleged violent and drug-related criminal activity.
Police and prosecutors say employees at Mike's Market on Ocean View Boulevard were working directly with gang members to facilitate drug sales, which were funded through major food assistance benefit fraud allegedly taking place at the store.
Prosecutors say people used their food assistance cards at the store and a portion of the money they received went to the market employees. The rest was used to buy drugs from gang members at the store. San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit said police have received"countless calls from the community" over the years to address crime in and around the market, including three homicides that happened over the past year within a block of the store.
