CHICAGO TRIBUNE - Police and FBI agents in Chicago have rounded up dozens of alleged street gang members and associates in a crackdown on what prosecutors call a cocaine selling operation run by the big Latin Kings street gang.The arrests in the Little Village area of the city's West Side came Wednesday as federal prosecutors unsealed a 223-page complaint charging 29 people with drug violations. Eleven others face state charges.
Prosecutors say they have a witness -- a gang enforcer -- who was in charge of security at a meeting where drug sales were planned. He searched those on hand for hidden recording equipment while secretly recording the proceedings himself.
The Latin Kings are one of Chicago's biggest gangs.
And everybody attacked Fitzgerald because he was going after minority neighbiorhoods. I love how Fitzgerald basically laughed in thier face.
ReplyDeletePatrick Fitzgerald on going where the crime is from WBEZ.
ReplyDeleteWe need some help here on the Northside. I'm pretty sure there are at least 40 gang members dealing drugs in Uptown that we would all love to see locked up for 5-10 years.
ReplyDeleteThe Kings faction on Clark recently tagged several buildings. Graffiti busters and business owners cleaned most of it.
