[⚠️ Suspicious Content] Name: The “Caine Line” Crew
Territory: Crystal Gardens, South Central LS (415 Area Code)
Leader (Suspected): Rocaine Gutierrez a/k/a Rocky / ‘Caine
Age: 25
Primary Vehicle: Red 1989 BMW E30 (registered under alias)
Status: Low-to-Mid Level Distribution Cell | Under Investigation

Overview:
Operating quietly out of the gritty, overlooked corners of Crystal Gardens, the “Caine Line” Crew is a loosely structured criminal faction centered around suspected ringleader Rocaine “Caine” Gutierrez, a 25-year-old drug distributor with a reputation for staying below the radar and his associate Desmond 'D-Money' Bolden. Though not publicly affiliated with any major gang, Gutierrez and his associates maintain direct ties to local street-level suppliers and documented gang figures across South Central Los Santos.

The crew specializes in the street-level trafficking of cocaine, crack-cocaine, and prescription opioids, leveraging a network of stash houses, burner phones, and encrypted communications to stay ahead of law enforcement. While Gutierrez avoids social media and public attention, intelligence from confidential informants and surveillance reveals a tight-knit operation often seen in the company of convicted felons and organized crime figures.

Key Activities:

Narcotics Distribution: Cocaine, crack, and diverted pharmaceuticals moved through neighborhood contacts.

Stash Houses: Multiple rotating safe locations across Crystal Gardens.

Theft Rings: Suspected involvement in drug shipment and vehicle thefts.

Encrypted Ops: Heavy use of encrypted apps and disposable phones, hindering wiretap attempts.

Money Movement: Financial records suggest small-scale laundering and bulk-cash storage.

Criminal Record:
Gutierrez has no current felony convictions but has previously faced — and evaded — charges including:

Possession w/ Intent to Distribute

Unlawful Firearm Possession

Obstruction of Justice

Charges were dropped due to uncooperative witnesses and compromised evidence, reinforcing his image as cautious and insulated from exposure.

Ongoing Investigation:
Local and federal authorities are actively compiling a case targeting Gutierrez’s properties and inner circle. Search warrants are pending, with anticipated seizures of:

Controlled substances

Firearms

Burner phones & encrypted devices

Financial ledgers and cash stockpiles

Affiliation & Structure:
While not a traditional street gang, the Caine Line Crew operates with a cell-like structure, suggesting flexibility, loyalty by proximity, and compartmentalized roles. The crew reportedly prefers profit over politics, operating quietly but efficiently in the increasingly competitive drug trade of South Central.

Known Hangouts:

Crystal Gardens Apartment Blocks

Local shops and garages linked to alias names

Public parks and low-income motels known for narcotics activity

Intel Notes:

Vehicle frequently parked at suspected stash locations

Rarely posts online; suspected use of proxies or ghost accounts

Maintains a clean public image; rumored to be funding relatives and small local businesses

Summary:
Caine may not run with a flag, but he moves weight like a seasoned plug. Underneath his calm, low-profile exterior is a calculated operator—one whose reach may stretch further than his record shows. With multiple agencies circling and the pressure mounting, the next few moves could either expose the crew—or push them deeper underground. His latest efforts consist of organizing a criminal enterprise operating out of the Crystal Gardens area, using a hierarchical structure akin to military organizations, based on discipline, authority and structure.
