LA Area Street Gangs Targeted By Raids
LOS ANGELES -- More than 1,000 federal and local law enforcement officials carried out raids around the Los Angeles area Tuesday, targeting a street gang accused of everything from drug dealing to murder.
About 1,300 officers and agents began going door to door before dawn. They served arrest warrants on about 90 suspected members and associates of the Avenues gang, based in northeast Los Angeles.
Authorities said they're working from federal indictments accusing gang members of crimes ranging from graffiti tagging to violence against police officers, culminating with the killing of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Juan Escalante.
The operation was the latest in a string of raids against local street gangs this year that have led to dozens of arrests.
