The FBI arrested four people Thursday morning and charged them with trafficking heroin in Mecklenburg and Gaston counties.


Two other suspects are being sought by authorities in the case.


Federal officials say the arrests are part of an ongoing investigation, Operation Dirty Girl 3, being conducted by federal, state and local officials, including the Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Gastonia police departments. Several other arrests in the case were made in June and july.


According to court documents, the heroin allegedly was received from Mexico and then delivered through a system which involved ring members working as dispatchers and delivery people. The six arrested Thursday morning have initial court hearings Monday.


Those arrested, according to the FBI, were:


-- Wilfredo Andujar (also known as Rolando Casanova), 44, whose home is listed as Puerto Rico but is a Charlotte resident, according to Mecklenburg County jail records.


-- James Lee Thompson, 46, of Gastonia.


-- Anthony Britt Moore, 39, of Gastonia.


-- Irvin Josue Navarro Ramirez (also known as Jorge), 25, whose home is listed as Mexico but is a Charlotte resident, according to Mecklenburg County jail records.


A fifth suspect, Nancy Tebbe Rotolo, 52, whose hometown is not known, is being held by local authorities, although the FBI did not say where.
