26 Indicted During Gang Crackdown

Twenty-six people were indicted in a crackdown on drug dealing and a gang turf war that has left 12 people dead and as many wounded in the Miami area in the last two months. The indictments charge 16 members of the John Doe gang and 10 members of a rival gang, Cloud Nine, with federal drug, firearms and money laundering counts that could put them behind bars for life. Fourteen people were arrested in police stings. Authorities seized dozens of handguns, assault rifles, bulletproof vests and hand grenades, and $250,000 cash and more than 13 pounds of crack cocaine.
