New Jersey Police Round Up Members of The Bloods Street Gang in Operation Dawg Pound
West Trenton, N.J. – In the second operation under a new intelligence-led policing initiative directed against street gangs, federal, state and local agencies arrested numerous members of the violent Bloods street gang in a cooperative strike. Operation Dawg Pound targeted the gang’s presence in central New Jersey—predominantly in Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties.
More than two-dozen people have been charged with crimes including conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, distribution of CDS, and transfer of weapons.
The announcement by Attorney General Stuart Rabner, State Police Superintendent Colonel Rick Fuentes, and Criminal Justice Director Gregory Paw and Gerard P. McAleer, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge took place in the newly opened Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC) at State Police headquarters.
“Today’s operation reflects a new, aggressive law enforcement model that we’re using to take down the most violent street gangs,” said Attorney General Rabner. “It’s a model that starts with effective intelligence gathering by the State Police and other agencies, and brings in state prosecutors at the outset, to ensure that we dismantle the hierarchy of these gangs with solid cases. We will continue to work with our many law enforcement partners to target gangs terrorizing our communities.”
“Gang members, awoke this morning to the terrifying sounds of their impending arrests. A new day has come and street gangs have been targeted as an untenable threat to public safety and peace in our state,” said Colonel Rick Fuentes. “Gang members, you bring this upon yourselves. The degree to which your crimes degrade the quality of life in New Jersey determines the amount of law enforcement attention your gang receives, and starts the countdown to its demise.”
