The multi-agency effort, dubbed 'Operation Red Rider,' sought to dismantle a 'well-organized crime syndicate,' San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said.
SAN DIEGO - Local political and law enforcement officials Tuesday announced dozens of arrests and seizures of an array of guns and illicit drugs as part of a 10-month"takedown" of a large San Diego-area criminal network.
"And this operation's takedown was done through painstaking and lengthy investigation at the front end, and high-risk execution of search warrants and arrests at the back end," Gloria told reporters during an afternoon news conference. The targeted crime gang has ties to various white supremacy groups, SDPD Chief David Nisleit said during the news conference at the downtown SDPD headquarters.
"These are the drugs that are killing our San Diego citizens," Gloria said."They are weapons that are being used to hurt our communities. And I'm pleased to say that now these criminals are being brought to justice."
