Six Orange County residents, who are already in jail on state narcotics charges, have been named in a six-count federal indictment returned in Los Angeles that alleges that they were part of a drug ring that stretched from Southern California to south Florida, Panama and Colombia, federal officials said. More than 40 pounds of cocaine and business ledgers indicating multimillion-dollar drug deals were seized, Assistant U.S. Atty. Susan Bryant-Deason said. Named in the indictment were Abraham Ernesto Rojas, 50; Ernesto Ivan Rojas, 30; Maria Victoria Restrepo, 29; Wilfredo Gerardo Martinez, 31, and Liliana Gorosito, 31, all of Anaheim Hills, and Juan Jose Restrepo, 32, of Placentia.

The rest are in state prison after being convicted on cocaine charges, she said.
