“Each member of our community is endangered when street gangs criminals engage in armed robbery, sex trafficking and other violent criminal acts,” said US prosecutor Andrew Haden. “This case is the result of exceptional teamwork and collaboration between our local and federal partners to apply the law. We will continue to hold these violent groups responsible, using the Rico tools at our disposal, to do justice to the victims of crimes and to make our community safer. ”
