DETROIT (AP) - A crackdown on crime in Detroit by a coalition of local, state and federal police agencies has led to charges against members of street and motorcycle gangs.
U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said Friday that members of the Bounty Hunter Bloods and Almighty Vice Lord Nation street gangs and the Phantom Outlaw Motorcycle Club are among those charged.
An indictment unsealed Thursday details the connection between the Bounty Hunter Bloods and murders, shootings, carjackings, drug trafficking and other crimes. Nine men have been indicted in that case.
The indictment says members bragged about their gang affiliation and activities on social media websites.
