Behind the Scenes: US Marshals take down gang members in massive operation

 

It is all part of "Operation Triple Beam."

 

OTB is a 90 to 120 day operation led by the U.S. Marshals Service in cities around the country, which, according to the USMS, "Brings together federal, local, and state law enforcement, to focus on specific areas impacted by specific gang violence, while targeting the most violent gang members and organizations."

 

The latest mission, which concluded in Houston on Thursday, netted 341 warrants cleared by arrest, 220 gang-affiliated arrests, 62 firearms seized, nearly $60,000 in currency, and narcotics with a street value of over $1 million.

 

That makes Houston's OTB one of the most successful in the history of the operation. Since 2010, the U.S. Marshals have used the operation to make more than 6,000 arrests across the country, along with the seizure of 1,500 illegal firearms, more than $1.5 million in cash and over $6 million in narcotics. The officials involved in the operation say it's a classic case of local and federal law enforcement agencies cooperating to get the job done.
