USA – Police hailed the largest gang takedown in New York history on Wednesday after a major operation snared 120 people from two rival street gangs. Authorities swooped in the early hours on dozens of members of the Bronx gangs, who are accused of as many as 39 homicides, use of firearms, robbery, bank fraud, racketeering and drug dealing. Capping a years-long pursuit by authorities to smash the two gangs, hundreds of police officers and federal agents went after the ‘Big Money Bosses,’ or BMB gang, which officials say has infiltrated various parts of New York, and its rival ‘2Fly’, which operates nationwide in the United States. The office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara, said the operation was ‘believed to be the largest gang takedown in New York City history.’ In total, 120 members and associates of the gangs were charged with racketeering, narcotics, and firearms offenses.(dailymail.co.uk)…[+]
