Partnerships with the FBI and other federal agencies helped local Baton Rouge law enforcement make more than 100 gang-related arrests this summer.
The operation, which focused on four local gangs and their respective neighborhoods, seized more than 100 firearms, dozens of Machine Gun Conversion Devices, and nearly $250,000 in cash over four months.
"We targeted the Vultures , Bleedas , 60 Gang and TBG gangs, whose members are responsible for murders, drug trafficking and robberies across the city of Baton Rouge," said Jonathan Tapp, special agent in charge of the FBI's New Orleans field office. "We hit hardest in the four neighborhoods they call home."
The Zion City, Banks, Glen Oaks and Dixie neighborhoods were outlined on a map of Baton Rouge that Tapp referred to.
