AG Bonta announced the results of a collaborative multiagency effort targeting criminal street gangs in the Central Valley. As a direct result of this operation, investigators prevented seven violent crimes, solved two homicides, made 69 felony arrests, and seized 73 firearms, ammunition, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine.

“Through a unified front with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, we have successfully removed hazardous drugs and weapons from our streets while holding bad actors accountable. This strategic and focused operation dismantled organized criminal organizations and directly prevented impending acts of violence. I want to express my deepest gratitude to our dedicated DOJ agents and partner agencies for their tireless commitment to public safety. Today, we send an unmistakable message: Organized crime cannot withstand the power of rigorous, collaborative law enforcement. Because of these collective efforts, Central Valley families can live and sleep peacefully, knowing their community is that much safer." -AG Bonta
