“The Justice Department has no tolerance for violent gangs that sow fear and terror in our communities, and we will continue to use every tool we have to stop them and bring them to justice.”
The FBI arrested 28 alleged members and associates of a South Los Angeles street gang in a series of raids carried out by a multi-agency task force in Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The arrests stem from six federal grand jury indictments alleging crimes including racketeering, extortion of local businesses, and drug and weapons trafficking.
Officials said the indictments targeted 41 suspects, three of whom were already in custody and 10 of whom remain at large. In addition to the arrests, investigators also seized 47 firearms and varying quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, heroin and marijuana, along with $140,000 in cash.
