MS-13 rounded up in Denver and LA

Eight members of the notorious MS-13 street gang were arrested in Denver early Tuesday morning as part of a three-year joint operation by the Denver Metro Gang Task Force and U.S. Justice Department.

The eight arrested are among 20 indicted with various drug or firearms charges. Investigators are still looking for four people as part of the investigation.

Simultaneous arrests were also made in Los Angeles and some of those indicted were already in custody.

The U.S. Attorney's office says the drug dealing from the street gang had reached into California state prison.

During the course of the investigation, agents and officers seized 10 pounds of meth, 2.3 kilograms of cocaine, 124 grams of herion, 12 guns, and $3,300 in cash. MORE
