Gang Members Arrested In Little Village

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Sep 24, 2008 3:50PM

FBI agents have conducted a major sweep in Little Village this morning, arresting almost 40 gang members, in an effort to put the kibosh on a major drug ring and gang violence. The gang members are all reportedly Latin Kings. A press conference is scheduled for later this afternoon in which it's likely major drug charges will be announced. The sweep follows this summer's conviction of Latin King leader Fernando King.
