Two San Mateo men were arrested last week for allegedly selling cocaine, methamphetamine and weapons to undercover police officers during a two-month investigation by the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force.
Robert Joseph Wynne, 18, and Daniel Charles Viau, 29, were arrested after police swooped in on a San Mateo residence April 4. Wynne and Viau were not at the house on the 100 block of Railroad Avenue, but they were later located at residences in Burlingame and South San Francisco. During the two-month investigation, the men sold drugs and weapons, including an AK-47 assault riffle, to undercover police officers at that location, task force Cmdr. Mark Wyss said in a statement released yesterday.
Police are still looking for a third suspect. A $470,00 arrest warrant was issued for Noah Forrest Kerran, 25, of San Mateo. He is being charged with three counts of selling cocaine, one count of selling methamphetamine and one count of selling an assault rifle.
Kerran is described as white with blond hair and blue eyes. He is 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 250 pounds. Kerran is considered armed and dangerous based on his gang affiliation and access to firearms.
At approximately 5 a.m. April 4, members of the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force and the San Mateo Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics Team issued a search warrant at the Railroad Avenue home. One person was there at the time and 58 grams of cocaine with a street value of $5,220 was secured without incident, Wyss said.
Further investigation led police to the 900 block of Howard Avenue in Burlingame where Wynne was located and arrested. Viau was arrested at an undisclosed location in South San Francisco.
Both men, who list their occupation as unemployed, were each arrested on one count of the sale of cocaine and one count of conspiracy to sell cocaine. They were booked into San Mateo County Jail with bail set at $107,500 for Wynne and $100,000 for Viau.
